I have the bug for a 358 as well. I may go with the Walmart 700 in 308 and cut it to 21" send it to JES to rebore it.

There isn't a single bullet in the bore size,that is worth a fhuqk.

If you’re going to shoot much offhand, then I’d go with the M-70 Compact and a 22” sporter-weight barrel. Once you get it scoped you can shoot it offhand and see how it balances. Then you can decide whether to shorten and flute the barrel.
Sounds like an interesting project.
Okie John Good idea, in theory, but the M70 compact doesn’t come with a sporter weight barrel. I know. You'd have to go full custom or find a Model 70 barrel chambered for a short-action cartridge that you could rebore. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Too easy to align COAL,RPM and BC...in order to connect all dots,less a single concession.
None of which ANY .358" arranges.

Hint............... What other chamberings would you consider for a CRF, SA, short range thumper bolt gun?

.338" bolsters the Skinner,amongst others and it is both robust and beyond repute.

Hint............... Your full of [bleep] on that call,,, Yeah. I have to agree. At least for the distances I’m shooting the 225 grain NAB is a pretty good bullet. A long range rifle a .35 is not but at least to 400 yds I’d be comfortable with it. Yes the .338 is better and has superior bullets than the .35 I agree.
