rem titanium rifle question

[scottsdale]

have a chance to buy a rem 700 titanium rifle for well under 500.00 chambered in 300 short mag.no interest in this caliber anywhere as price reflects.would like to rebarrel it in a 6mm but cant due to bolt face size. my question is will rem refit this action with a usuable and anyone have a guess as to cost?

Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but what not call or e-mail Remington??? Then you would have definitive, up to date info. Our info might be old and involve something they don't do any more.

Why not just buy a 6mm and have a correct gun and not something that is altered. Your just asking for a caliber that is out there for you too buy and not a real scarce or custom shop caliber. The 6mm is an EXCELLENT caliber you would just be going through a lot of trouble for no big gain. I know the titanium rifle is lighter< but not that much lighter to make it worth the cost. In my OPINION.

already have inquired to rem.awaiting reply.have done the math and if the bolt can be replaced at a "reasonable"price,will have a rem 700 titanium rifle for only slightly more than a new off the shelf rem 700.key is if and how much to change. thanks for both replies.
