Thread: Model 7 rechamber

Has anyone rechambered a model 7 non magnum into a mag caliber?

I've got a mod 7 260 in a stug and love it, however I've always been a bit gutted it cant shoot the vld 130s or heavier pills. It's one of the older slower twist models.

Just a pipe dream at the moment but I reckon a rechamber to 6.5 saum would be awesome long term. Can the boltface be opened up? Then just a rebarrel from there? Just thinking saum as model 7 came out factory chambered in 7mm saum etc.
