I've got a my old M700 match rifle sitting in the safe with a few thousand rounds down the tube. Still shoots CBs pretty well but no longer the 'tack driver' it once was with SMKs. Started out thinking, maybe, a rebarrel to 7-08 or .284 Win but, lately, been considering a rebore...there's plenty of metal to work with, the existing barrel is a 24" McGowan #7 Medium Target (straight taper, .875 muzzle).
Now, the way I see it, I've only two (realistic) options for the rebore: .338-08 (.338 Federal) or .358 Win. Anyone have experience with either...or both? When finished, rifle will probably never see a jacketed round in my lifetime and be used almost exclusively on paper and steel targets out to 300M or so.
Any and all suggestions and/or advice appreciated.
Bill
