I have an axis 308 that I want to rebarrel. I was looking at 280 AI. I will have to buy the Long Action magazine and the barrel of course. My question is, do I need to get a different bolt head? I have read different things online and wanted to know if anybody has done this swap. I don't think its common since 308 is SA vs 280 LA, however my understanding is the AXIS is built on a long/longer action.
If this idea is a fail, ill probably just look at 260. But I wanted to see if this had been done, or what issues may come up.
