I have a Model 70 Stealth II in .223 WSSM sitting unused because it needs a new barrel. It is fun to shoot with velocities in the area of 4,000 fps with a 50 grain bullet. It gives off vapor trails on a humid day. Anyway, rather than just replacing the barrel in .223 WSSM, and since the action is shorter than other Model 70's, and since the bolt face is larger than typical, what else can I do with it? The OEM barrel is 1-10 and I thought maybe a faster twist for 77-90 class bullets. Or maybe a 6mm tube in 1-8 and neck up my brass. Don't know if the bolt face can be changed. Decisions, decisions....
I've got a couple months to think about things until we get home in the spring. What sounds like a decent idea to you guys? I'm open to suggestions. I'll keep the Bell & Carlson stock and likely swap the Zeiss Conquest scope and change the oem trigger. After that?.....
