As I sit here recovering from a spinal fusion surgery I find myself with to much time to sit here and day dream about rifles and cartridges while I watch the baseball playoffs. I recently built a smokeless muzzleloader and I am considering selling off the barrel and turning it back into a centerfire. Why… because I’m bored and need something to entertain myself. The build turned out great but the muzzleloader barrel is heavy. I could replace it with a carbon barrel and the build would be a pretty kickass mountain rifle. Would be a Antelope to Elk rifle. I already have a 300 win mag and 30-06 so there is no real need for another cartridge just a want. Something like a 7-08, 6.5 prc, 6.8 western, 7 saum, etc. I’d be open to anything as long as it’s a short action cartridge. Would like something lighter in recoil.
Here is the build specs as it sits.
Remington 700 action (started as 6.5 Creedmoor)
.473 boltface
Brux .45 smokeless barrel
Hank's Precision V2 muzzle brake
HIS ignition
Hank’s recoil lug and barrel nut
TriggerTech trigger
Hawkins bottom metal
AG composite Alpine Hunter
Kampfield bolt fluting
Kampfield bolt knob
Hank’s Precision scope rail
Vortex Pro rings
Burris Veracity 3-15
