Howa 300 wsm
« on: December 16, 2009, 05:40:36 PM »
Anybody have one?  I'm thinking of rechambering my 308 and I'm curious about the barrel length.  Could look it up but I'm also curious if you like that round in the howa action, or if you've done the rechamber.

Ask a gunsmith if your bolt can be opened up enough.  The case diameter of the WSM line is larger than your 308 case head.

That part is ok, got an estimate of 175- 200 for everything, including bolt work.

You may be better selling yours and buying what you want I think money wise you will fair better? You may even try to trade for what you want?Lou

Where are you?

Guy in TX on another site has a .300 WSM Vanguard in B&C stock and Nikon Monarch 3.5-10x50 scope for a good price.

I'm also in TX and thinking about a 308.
