    I have remington 700 CDL chambered in .243 win I want to convert to a 6.5-284 Norma.. I know the 6.5-284 has the same case head as a .308 win family. Do I simply swap barrels and go or is there more involved??

    My Wingmasters are finally running!!!

    So since everyone seems to bash remington (myself included), I have something postive to report... Both of Cerebus era wingmasters have fired 500 consecutive rounds without a failure (finally).. The 12 gauge didn't make it two boxes before locking open and staying there... The 20 make it...
