mod 700 short
Hello I have the model 700 short action in 308, my question is what calibers will this accept if I change the barell, I'm looking to set it up for coyotes. I was thinking maybe just using light 308 loads, but it would be neat to have 2 guns in one.

You can re-barrel this rifle to .22 Rem BR, 22-250, 220 Swift, 243, 6mm Rem, 6MM-284 , 260 Rem, or 7MM-08 with no modifications to the bolt, magazine box, or follower. Basically anything with a .473 case head and a maximum COL of 2.800.

RE: mod 700 short
ok thats what I thought but I wasn't sure I didn't want to shoot a yote and have it fall to pieces . So I asked in another topic but no one gave me a suitable answer so I'll ask in this topic,,, would the remington mr rounds work the best in the 308 for yote I don't have any reloading stuff so I figured I would pick up a box of the mr's.
I've read that these are most affective in the 100 or so yard range and most yote kills are within this so... the only other bullets I can find are 150gr. and I can't see shooting a yote with that big of a bullet. I also want to thank everyone for the help, so thanks.
