A little back ground: I've wanted a 375H&H since I was a kid. I have one but have always wanted to match it up with a 300H&H. My 375 is in a M70 post 64 CRF Safari Express, my wife bought it for me in 1997. I've been looking around and reading. I think I can buy a used M70 post 64 CRF in 7mmRM, 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag, and just have it re-barreled to a 300H&H? THINK being the operative word.
Is this correct? Or am I also going to have to get a new follower and box? The same one as the 375H&H?
Or should I look for a used 375H&H?
I found the Montana Custom Rifles build a knock off of the M70 action but they are a little spendy. My budget is $1000 or less and prefer to stay around $700.
What do you think? Is this what I need or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Wild Bill
