So Ive got some time to do some thinking and I keep coming back to wanting a nice bolt gun. I currently have a Remington 700 in 300 WSM that is like new. I'm at a crossroads on what to do with it and would like some peoples opinions.
Heres my goals, have a rifle that I can shoot 0-1000 yards on steel, paper, varmint, and have as a back up deer rifle for shooting fields 0-500 yards.
I do reload so that's a big part of it.
One option is to buy the stuff to reload 300 wsm and just play with it and see what it does.
Option two would be to rebarrel the 300 wsm into 6.5 creedmore. This would get me into the custom rifle game pretty cheap since I got a steal of a deal on the 300 a few years ago so I would chalk it up as an almost free rifle. So id be into it for a barrel and gunsmith charges. Everything else, stock, trigger, glass, I can do on my own and do it a piece at a time.
Option three would be pop an ok scope on it out of my collection of sellable stuff, round up the ammo I have and sell it to a deer hunter. Then look into buying a ruger, savage, or tika ctr in 6.5 creedmore.
So if you where in that position what would you do? I tend to go back and forth on it each year and it just sits and collects dust.
