So...I started hunting Ohio this season. I didn't realize straight wall cartridges were legalized....I used a 50cal Encore muzzleloader barrel. Worked great.


I can use the Encore muzzleloader.

I can get other barrels for the Encore.



But....I have an interesting idea. Lol.


I have an SPS Varmint 22-250. Barrel is about done. So I have a donor m700 SA.


I have a Browns Precision Pound'r.


I can get "Remage" prefits.


So....take the parts I have...screw on a barrel...have a very unique m700sa Ohio legal rifle.

Probably go as short/light on the barrel as I can.


Anyone ever do it?



Anyone know my options for the standard bolt face? If there are any? Figured I might as well go big....cause why not? Lol .458" bullet?


Only hiccups to my idea is bolt face and possibly feeding issues. So that's why I'm here. Seems like a fun solution to a problem solved by easier means.


Considered a Ruger American Ranch in 450 Bushmaster...just can't stand cheap plastic stocks. That's how I ultimately dreamed up this possible project.
