Has anyone ever re barreled to a different caliber?

Yes. Heard tales of a 6.5 Creedmoor and a couple .260 OBR's.

Saw one redone over at ar15.com. Forgot what caliber they did it in though.

Nifty idea. But mine shoots just fine out to 1450.

Do you mind mentioning what your altitude was on that shot? I do not doubt you at all and I think the OBR is a great rifle. But, too many folks make claims of great distances without clarifying the altitude or DA. bolt gun or semi-auto a .308 and a 20" barrel are still a .308 and a 20" barrel when it comes down to physics.

My guess is it was probably at Todd Hodnett's place. A lot of the guys I work with that have been to his place have shot their OBR's that far if not farther.
