What would be needed to convert a standard rem 700 short action to wsm? Im asking about making it a repeater as I have a new bolt for the wsm. Any idea what the work would cost?

Thank you, Ollie
 
If using standard BDL bottom, you will need a new follower and possibly a mag box although the standard box could be bent to work.
Not sure what wsm cartridge you plan on building the rifle for but I would look for a different action if you plan on running the heavier longer bullets in either the 7 or 300.
