I measured some of my 300 H&H and 06 cases and it will be very close, but should work.

I rechambered my Ruger No.1B in 30/06 into 300 H&H.

Chamber cleans up very nicely. The attached picture is a Win Supreme 300 H&H beside a fired 30/06.

That's funny ..... I've been using older 700s for years now w/o any problems whatsoever.

Do tell what first hand problems you've had with early 700s.

Another option would be to chamber the barrel for 308 Norma. That is one of the things done when it was first brought out. You could get factory ammo and no gun.

When I was young, it was common to have guys rechamber the old Enfield .30-06 for the .300 H & H.. Worked then should work now..

Mag box should work, Follower might even work. It's only when you go to the Ultra mags that the box and follower have to be changed out.
Open the boltface or swap out the bolt with a magnum bolt and you should be good to go.

It should be no problem to rechamber the ‘06 barrel and use it.

Does anyone still produce bolt action rifles in 300H&H?

They may be available special order in a new rifle. But, I cannot recall seeing any offered on an "in stock" basis in a long time. Occasionally, I'll see a Rem 700 Classic in 300 H&H like the one below come up on GB. But, the 700 Classics are only offered for one year in each chambering. Maybe 1983 for the Rem 700 .300H&H ?

Jericho, Browning has a s/ss X-bolt in 300 H&H, but not sure if the barrel is proper length.

It seems to me that I saw a post 64 Winchester M70 in 300H&H several years ago.

Ruger has done some #1's in 300 H&H. Want to say some 1S and some Boddington series.

If one wants a .300 H&H, the best option is to watch for a Remington 721 so produced. They are very good guns.

30-338 is another good option and will give you plenty of mag box room to seat your bullets farther out.Cases made by necking down 338 Win Mag cases to 30 cal.Case is just a tad longer than a 30-06 case,2.494 for 30-06,2.500 for the 338.Performance about the same as 300 H&H.

CZ offered their Safari Classic in .300 H&H. Don’t know if that line still exists. Not cheap either.

I had Redneck rebarrel a 7 mag Model 70 to .300 H&H several years ago. Worked on antelope last fall.
