I need some help from you. I have a Remington 700 Police LTR rifle with a Jewell trigger, a Harris bipod and a Badger picatinny rail in 300 RSAUM. I bought the package because I got it in a very good condition and for a very good price. Now I want to know if it is possible to change the caliber to 260 Rem. I know that I need a new bolt and a new barrel. But I think that the short action should fit? Do I need a new magazine or does the original magazine work with the new caliber? Can you change the barrel while the (bedded) rail stays on the action? Or is it possible to load the 300 RSAUM to lower velocities? Ammunition for the 300 RSAUM seems almost impossible to get in Germany.
I really like the small and lite rifle and it would be great for hunting. But the calibre seems a bit to much and is very difficult to get over here.
Another possibility would be to sell my great Tikka T3 Tatical in 308 to buy a Tikka T3 Varmint in 260 Rem but I am not sure if this would be a good deal. What do you think? I have to say that I have got two custom 308s and an AI AE MK III in 308. It would be really kind to get some answers from you!
