Bought a used 110E in 243 with synthetic stock on another forum (pre-accutrigger and accustock). The seller got it in a trade and does not know much about it, however does not look like it has been shot much. After sighting in I got ~1-1.5MOA groups with factory ammo, so I am happy.
I want to bed it and will reload for it, so I expect some improvement. (not sure about pillar bedding cause I am chickening out :) )
However I was wondering about this long action for a short action cartridge. The mag box is small and the action has a metal lip on it. Does that mean that the gun is unable to be converted to a long action cartridge (eg .270, 7RM, .264) and I am "condemned" in my choice of next rebarrelling choices?

Thanks
