.510 Whisper shopping list for Rem 700

[sharky47]

Ok, so I was given a plain 700 long action and I need something good to do with it. I am a machinist, I do reload, I turn my own bullets, I calculate my own load data, so I am not entirely new to the game. Not trying to sound pompous, just letting you all know where I'm coming from....

I think I'd like to build a .510W out of this thing and I need to know what components I need to collect. The rifle is currently chambered in '06, bone stock. I have one of those really nice surgeon action wrenches and a full machine shop at my disposal.

Is this a reasonable donor action? Can I modify the bolt face enough to accept the bigger case head? Can I buy an appropriately sized bolt? Etc, etc....

Thank you all in advance!

510 Whisper Reamer from PT&G
Bolt in Lapur Mag from PT&G
Dies?
Cases. ( they sux to make )

open up the mag well on the 30 06/ 270 rem long action
so the cases can fit though, you can open up the bolt face on the 270/30 06 bolt you need to fit Tubb Sako Extractor. C Kit or buy bolt from PT&G
i can't think of any more, some one here on here will know more.

Cheers,
