Help! 270win blind box to 300 wm mag fed conversion issue.

that's what i was wondering, if these stocks will only fit centerfeed actions. i looked on the website and they make no mention of the action type these will fit. hope it works out for you whatever you decide to do.

As for the action screw hole, it sounds like you have the skills to set the action on the drill press table and square it up with the largest drill bit that will go into the hole easily. Secure the action in place, remove the drill bit, and replace it In the chuck with a 1/4x28 starter tap, run it into the hole and rotate the chuck by hand, chasing the threads. This has worked for me in various different applications. If for any reason this doesn't work, your next best option is to rebore and move up one thread size.

I would "NOT" drill a hole in the top of the action! :-((

Pretty much how I was going to do it and yeah I was going to avoid the method of drilling the top of the reciever at all cost. Just wanted to see someone else's reaction to that.

In other news I completely solved my problem today. Found a like new 111 chambered in 7mm rem mag at my local gun shop today. Got it for $325 out the door and it's almost too clean to rip apart but what ever. Drop in the criterion barrel, headspace and done. The old action was missing some stuff like a magnum bolt head and would have to do a pin size swap plus the additional machine work. I'll just use it for some other crazy project down the road.
