110 caliber conversion

[Uncle Jack]

I have an older (1990's) 110 Tactical 308 Win that I would like to convert to a 300 Win Mag either by rechambering or rebarreling. Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to recall that there might be a problem with the larger magazine box. Any insight?

The problem isn't with the box..... it's the machine cut on the bottom of the receiver. A magnum box won't fit into a short hole.

Will a short mag work?

Yes, it will. And it will work good as long as your bullets aren't long or seated far out.

I have the same action. I'm going to hang a 32" 338 Edge barrel on it and shoot it single shot.

I've got one too, I'm going to open mine for the long magazine box. I don't think it will be any problem to lengthen the cutout. If you want to go this route and don't have access to a mill I bet that SSS could do it for you.

I'd first consider the 300 RCM before a short mag. Easier feeding and I think it will stay on the market longer, personally. You might not have to even swap mags, worth a try.
