Picked a Remington 721 in .30-06 a while back.

Nothing wrong with .30-06, but since I have .308s and .300WM why do I need a a 'tween caliber... SO, got to thinking (that can be dangerous for sure) about a conversion... and well with all the pink elephant sitings I keep hearing about here of late in Woodbridge, VA... decided I needed a big bore dangerous game caliber.

Enter 9.3 x 62mm Mauser http://www.norma.cc/en/Products/Hunting/93x62/

Remington 721 bolts are some of the strongest bolt lockups ever made... so looking for opinions etc. here... or should I just sell the gun and buy a ???

If I convert I will either rebore http://35caliber.com/2.html or rebarrel.

Can you say 6.5# elephant gun?

Thought and jabs welcome.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
