Remington 673 Guide Rifle.308win
Can i take this Remington 673 Guide Rifle.308win to a gunsmith & have it modified into a 338 Win or .340 weatherby & if so price if you have any idea, what it might cost me to do this...
All your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Only reason i want to modify gun is for Elk or moose hunting, i believe .308 caliber is to small, & dealer is marking several hundred dollars off the cost of this Model because I think remington , wont be making it much linger.

Hi Slow:
I believe the 673 is all about short actions, so you have to live within those limitations. For what it would cost you to rebarrel to .350 Rem, you might as well just sell your .308 and purchase a rifle with an action that will take the longer cartridges you are considering.

I agree. I hope some more gun makers will jump on this one and help give it a jump start. Anything based on the 308 case has some real merit. Its a very effective case that really eeks out the power from a small powder charge.
