I have an old 700 rem chambered in 7mm express , it shoots great but it is all factory. I am going to convert it to 280 Ackley, add a thumb-hole stock and a new trigger. I have several undecided issues that I would appreciate help on
1. re-chamber or re-barrel ?
2. McMillan or H.S.Precision for the stock?
3. Which gunsmith to use? I would like to pick a gunsmith with-in a 2 to 3 hr. drive of Eastland,TX.
4. any suggestions on what barrel to use if i re-barrel it?
I know that there is a lot more to consider, but this should give me a good start, with 2 more weeks to hunt I am not in a real big hurry but will probably start this project in early spring
