I thought about re-barreling the m70, but it's a magnum so I would need to change the bolt as well, and that just gets expensive . My other option is to sell the 7mm bullets, buy more in .30cal for my 30-06's and that would be the end of my problem. Then again what fun would that be? I wonder if I could down load the 7mm magnum and still keep it accurate? What do you guys think, I already have a good scoped .223, and 2 30-06's, so am I looking for a problem to fit a cure? I want to have a good long range gun that can buck a little wind, be accurate, and not have a painfull recoil. should I just load some 130-150g 30-06?
