I have a Rem. 700 in .308 Win. that needs a new bolt. It was given to me by a friend who tried to weld a new handle on, and it will not cycle. My father has a .243 that he has let rust beyond repair (barrel wise)and gave to me to do as I please. I plan on keeping the .243 receiver for a future build. In the meantime, is there any reason I can't use the bolt from the .243 in the .308?

I thought that was the case, but thought I'd ask just to be safe. Thanks.
