Make it a 6.5-06. Easy and more betterer.I have a classic model 70 30-06 that I am looking at rebarreling. Would it be plausible to convert it to 6.5 creedmoor? I know I could just buy another gun, but I like this model 70. The current barrel is a poor performer.
Thanks
How hard was this to do? Did you have to change the bolt stop or does using a dbm make it an easy change over?Yes it is possible.

This may be the most straightforward approach. Thanks.Put a spacer in the back of the mag well, grab a shorter magazine follower?
Might at least be worth exploring, May be the remedyThis may be the most straightforward approach. Thanks.
Modifying the magazine with a block can work if it’s done right with attention to proper follower/follower spring function.I did end up rebarreling this 30-06 to 7-08. And, it does not feed the cartridges on the left hand side of the magazine well. The rear of the cases slide under the bolt when it is brought forward. If I move the cartridges forward in the magazine it works better. Any thoughts on a fix? Worst case scenario I just rechamber it to 280ai.
They might exist, but the only spacers I’ve ever seen other than the spot welded factory spacer in 06 and 7 mag length magazines were fabricated. Fabricated spacers have been solid steel, solid aluminum, solid plastic, welded shapes.Any ideas on where I can find a spacer for the magazine? I’m wondering if I need to just buy a magazine and remove the spacer from it but would prefer to skip that step if possible. I can’t seem to find spacers on Midwest gunworks
