I am considering having a rifle rechambered from 30-06 to 308Norma Mag, as I have frequently heard that such a task is certainly possible, even routine for a gunsmith. I now have the gunsmith I asked about possibly doing it telling me it can be done, but that since it requires the reamer pilot to be unsupported for the first 75-80% of the cutting process (because of the existing -06 chamber), accuracy is not a guarantee. Seems like if I am going to do something to a rifle, I'd rather have an accurate one when I'm done. He did tell me he could put a new barrel on for nothing more than the cost of the barrel, so perhaps he is just trying to sell me a barrel. Anybody else have an existing gun rechambered to something longer/larger? Any gunsmiths tell you it might be a poor idea? I am curious, as it seems a straightforward operation, and with a lathe, how do things get out of alignment?
