I have a 670 in 30 06 that I am not a fan of. Im not really a fan of any 30 caliber. I just read that there are no issues putting a short action caliber barrel into a long actioned rifle so i am hoping my idea will work.
My goal is to find a 260 rem barrel but since its newer and unlikely would take a 243 or 7mm08, i am a big fan of the 308 family. However if i cant find those, I would love to find a 6.5x55 Swede but could settle (happily) with a 270 Winchester.
I can't find any barrels out there specifically for my 670 so I am hoping I can just use a winchester model 70 barrel (probably post 64 and pre 92). I want to get a used stock barrel in the sub $100 range from someone who wanted to change calibers or upgrade their barrel.
This isnt a caliber debate as i know the 06 is a very capable caliber, its not about recoil either as i know there are light loads. I already have a mosin and want something between it and my 223.
Please let me know what your thoughts are on this.
Thanks for your time,
Shane
