I have made several 450 Marlin using this as a start. Assuming this is a CRPF Model 70.

What could a 7mm WSM be re-barreled to with out extensive work to the action/bolt, if anything? Or sell? I've always wanted a 7wsm. Especially after it set the record group at 1 mile years ago. Just thinking out of the box a bit. Sell. Buy what you want.

I don’t have it currently. It is for sale and I don’t really need a rifle in that caliber but I like the look of the rifle’s stock and wouldn’t mind having it if I could re-barrel it to something I would use. I’m a lefty and this is a LH rifle, which are pretty hard to find and I don’t want to pass something up that I might could make useful to me but I also don’t want to buy something if I don’t have a use for it either. Thanks for the suggestions.

For an easy button chamber that is popular and has plenty of component backup, the 6.5 PRC would make a nice alpine rig in SA with 22” barrel. WSM platforms allow 3.00” magazines. The 6.5 PRC runs around 2.95” for COAL.

the creed of ignorance,

its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

How about a 458x2? Would that need to be a single stack? Rob

How about a 458x2? Would that need to be a single stack? Rob The WSM's have been necked up and down to every conceivable caliber out there. I know guys who have the .375 and 458 WSM's My personal favorite is the 6.5WSM. Cat
scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

What brand of rifle is it? I have a lefty Model 70 in 7wsm. I'm looking for a Browning A-Bolt or X-bolt. I have several left hand rifles I might part with to get one.

It is a Winchester M70. Scottf270, I’d be interested in any other left handed M70s you might want to sell in other calibers especially more traditional calibers like 30-06, 300 win mag, 270 win, etc….
