Why it makes no financial sense to convert a SA Remington to 6.5PRC

[mauser284]

I am thinking about build on one a WWII Mauser actions. I have not looked at the magazine box on a Mauser yet to see if this would be a 2 round conversion or a 3 round. I am guessing it would turn into a 2 round rifle but I do not know this as a fact yet!

I'm not getting what the objections are to the video.

Seems pretty straightforward that a remington 700 mag well is shorter than the 6.5 PRC cartridge.
Of course, the mod can be done, but why, in general, go down a path that requires modifying the action?
Again of course, if there's some specific application that needs a remington 700 action and a 6.5 PRC cartridge, then, yes, go for it.

The comment was made 100% in jest but I’ll stand behind it and play the game.

Pay to true, time, and trigger job on a 700sa and you could have bought an entire tikka lite rifle and then parted it out Recouping money. That’s leaving out cost of opening for a wyatts which you won’t need.

Or pay an extra 300$ and you are in a defiance tenacity.

All this leaving current rem QC aside.

I’ll amend to, aside from nostalgia And rebuilding a rifle/action you already own there’s no sense in it. I never once said great rifles haven’t been built on one.

I read your comment and thought you just meant to use a LA from go! My LA 243 convinced me that a SA is very unnecassary.
