    Open up bolt head. Mag would also need changed. Feed rails also to accommodate fatter case.

    Actually I don't know the proper terms @tui_man2

    Didn't think about mag , I think it's sell and buy another , unless there is some big advantage in accuracy if it's reamed by a gun smith ?

    1: Cause once you get one you dont want to get rid of it!

    Huge advantage for long range, no advantage for short range. Realistically 7mm08 would get you somewhere around 500-600m for hunting max, the 7mmwsm would add another 200m to that.

    These are very ballpark figures.
