I have a Remington 700 adl in 30-06, can I have the barrel removed and have a 7mm prc barrel made for the action? Thanks in advance for the info.

You'll need a different bolt or have your bolt face opened up.
Check Long Rifles Inc. They could do this for you.Know where I can buy the correct bolt, or have that work done?
Not a bad idea. Know where any are in stock?Check Long Rifles Inc. They could do this for you.
Unless your 30-06 has sentimental value you may be better off selling it and buying a 7mm PRC.
What’s google?I've heard you can find things if you Google. Like "7prc rifle for sale".
It’s like DuckDuckGo for normiesWhat’s google?
It would be a lot easier if you started with a 700 Magnum action, from a 7mm RemMag or .300 WinMag and went from there. Then it would be a simple barrel swap.I have a Remington 700 adl in 30-06, can I have the barrel removed and have a 7mm prc barrel made for the action? Thanks in advance for the info.
Yeah, I'm well aware of how all this works, I have a safe full of custom built rifles...But I didn't quote you. I replied to @maxfield911 original post.I think you misread my post. I bought a barreled action. This means I got an action a barrel already on it. No need to swap barrels. Not interested in 280 Ackley. Great round but not my cup of tea. I also don't care for the action on my 30-06. The action got is stainless steel and cerakoted and the bolt is fluted with a skeletonized handle. The barrel is already threaded and has a muzzle break. In the end it's very good value. The cost to rebarrel my 30-06 would have likely been more than 700 if I included all the upgrades that came on the barreled action.
Shoot my mistake. I jumped in on the wrong post lol. Sorry man!Yeah, I'm well aware of how all this works, I have a safe full of custom built rifles...But I didn't quote you. I replied to @maxfield911 original post.
You might want to wait for 7mm PRC to get more popular. Barreled actions run pretty cheap. That would definitely be the cheapest route. 6.5 PRC has had a little more time and howa makes barreled action for about $400-600. If this is a hunting rifle that will work. Brownells also often will have 10% off coupons. You would just basically swap the stock. A barrel blank will cost you $400 and all the work from a gunsmith probably another $400 depending on what you want and your smiths rates. You'll spend a lot more rebarreling not even including the bolt which will be about $400. $1200 is a decent mid tier rifle these days. The beauty of owning a nice long action remington stock is you can basically run multiple barreled actions on it if you want to go low budget. Howa also make very decent stuff for hunting applications. This is definitely not PRS type stuff. But hey it could probably work.Thanks for the help guys. I was trying to be budget friendly, but it seams just buying a full rifle is going to be cheaper then getting my barrel swapped and getting a new bolt
