Can anyone give me a little advice on what it would take to rechamber a .30-06 Remington 700 into a .308?
I think it's complicated because of the "long action" vs. "short action" distinction between the two rounds. Mine is an older 700BDL - L for long action. I put a new stock on it a few years ago and had to learn about long vs short.
What all is involved? Just swap the barrel? Is the bolt the same? Big job or small job?
Aside from finishing an 80% AR lower into a full gun, and some small repairs, I have zero gunsmithing experience.
