Thoughts on a model 70 build

I was wondering about that. I know it has a spacer, but was not sure if I would need to get a longer follower to make that work?
I believe Wyatt's makes a magbox to extend the COAL. He also had videos on how to make some cartridge feed better. At one time I believe he had a bolt stop too, but I didn't see it the last time I was on his site.
 
Pull the spacer and go from there. As for cartridges, I'd give a serious look at the 7mm PRC or the 7 SAUM. You'll be able to source quality brass and published load data. Win-win. As for the WSM, I have a 7mm WSM and I love it but when the barrel is toast, it'll probably become a 7 SAUM.
