First of all, do you know what cartridgethis action was originally chambered for? If it was a cartridge based on the .30-06 case then bumping up to a magnum will require altering the bolt face since the head diameter of a magnum cartridge is larger than that of the .30-06 family of cartidges.
Hello SM. To the best of my knowledge, the L61R Sako action and bolt were identical in all calibers from '06 to 338 Win Mag. Regards, Rick.
