Yep, 1987 in the Remington 700 classic... I agree though: A whelen, or even one of my favorites (the 9.3x62mm) would be skookum for sure..
This is going to sound funny, but did you guys see the person on ebay advertising "NEW" pre 64 model 70 barrels in every configuration imaginable. His buy it now price was $1,000.00. This was a while back when I saw the auction (maybe 5 months ago), but I think he got shut down pretty fast. I haven't seen him there since. He said he could turn out a perfect factory barrel in any chambering. You name it, he could do it. Seemed very strange/illegal to me, but there are guys out there still doing this..
