Classic Model 70 Cartridge

[Jmort1754]

Mag Bolt Face,

Started life as 264 win mag, barrel picked up some rust in a house fire and looks to be shot, the action was checked out and deemed safe to use..

Have a 6.5 PRC no need to have a 264 as well.

Have a good mix of calibers just wanted to build something on this.

What would you say is the classic caliber for it?

My vote goes to the classic 270.

Is the mag bolt face a long action? Just some classic calibers off the top of my head are really the basics... .243/30-06/.270/.257 Roberts/.300 H&H

300 HH sounds interesting

Honestly, it was bought in 2013 as a new fwt with CRF

You’re batting .200.

If you are wanting a dangerous game rifle, a 375 ruger would work. Not sure if you could do a 375 h&h on a regular long action but if so, that is another option.

Can’t go wrong with a .338 win mag.

Another 270 guy here.

Though, how about a 35 Whelan?

 

[Jmort1754]

Guys its a mag bolt face so none of the standard bolt face cartridges will fit

 

[Wrench]

300win for sure. Here's a 2b in an edge.

I would get it changed to 7mm REM Magnum with a 24” Remington Mag Sporter contour from Hart.
