Thread: 284 Winchester X-bolt conversion.

Greetings from sunny Wellington.

As per the title, does anyone have any information or insight as to the possibility of converting a short action X-bolt from 7mm08 to 284 Winchester. I had a 284 on a Winchester Featherweight and going by my rough observations with my boys 7mm08 X-bolt the magazines do have a similar length and the X-bolt magazine will take a 140 grain 284 round perfectly but obviously the magazine would need modification. The bolt length is approximately 11 to 12 mm longer than a Model 7 bolt when measured from the back of the lugs to the nearest rear bearing surface of the bolt, if that makes sense.
I obviously could just do the Tikka thing but I've had three now and would prefer to do something different with this excellent cartridge.

Any insight would be appreciated.
