270 donor action

[matty ny]

I know this may have been beat to death but I'm gonna ask anyway. I have a Remington SPS in 270. Can I use this as a donor action to build a 7PRC. Thanks

Yes, with change of bolt face, easy.

Yes. However, you will need to have the bolt face opened in order to chamber 7prc.

Either way I think your looking at ~$300 for the bolt or for gunsmith work.
I would just save a little and buy a Bergara in 7prc. The footprint is the same as rem 700 so upgrading stock and bottom metal could be down the road projects.

Thanks. Thought about that also. Gun is just sitting in safe figure I'd ask

Derivations:

.375 Ruger (left) From right to left: 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 PRC

For those who don't know the dimensions of either of these cartridges, yes, the bolt face can be opened up but remember to add in the extractor to the bolt machining. Or you can just replace the bolt completely with an aftermarket choice.

The rails in the action will have to be opened since the 7 PRC has a 0.532" diameter as opposed to the .270 Win. diameter of 0.473 since this affects feeding. Chances are the feed ramp might need a little touch up also.

The magazine box and follower will need replacing also.

Enjoy the process!

You can but there is at least a bolt change (or bolt work) and a follower change. There may be (and I stress may) be feed lips work as well. If I were you I'd buy or trade for a magnum action.
