My question is My wife deer hunts with a Savage model 111 in 7mm Mag with the blind magizine. Do to some medical problems she found out at the range she can no longer handle the recoil of the 7mag. So I wanna put a new barrel on it to a smaller caliber. Can I use that 7mm long action for say a 308 win or would I be better off with a 30-06. And what all would have to be changed? I know the barrel, bolt face and the mag well. Anything else? And also how would an action that long feed a short 308 win?

Thanks guys

I'm new here but you will be hearing more from me... soon...
