7mm-tcu open out

[t-roy]

I have a 7mm-tcu and I would like to open it up to 7mm-08 or something? Is this possible and is there someone out there that can do this for me?

how much $$$ ?

What firearm is it chambered in? TC Contender? if so, not a good solution.

If XP 100--have to get bolt face modified or another bolt fitted.

Not sure what the current costs of a re-chambering are.

TC contender! single

My guess is for a TC contender you could buy a barrel in the caliber you want for close to the price of converting it, plus you could sell the 7mm tcu barrel and come out way ahead of rechambering. just my .02

A new barrel is around $250 and I don't think I could sell my old one. Who would wont it? I like the 7mm just not in TCU.

 

[Why not?]

I have a buddy who might buy it. Probably a dozen guys on this board who would be interested, as well.

How much do you want for it?

7mm-08 is too much pressure for the Contender. 7-30 Waters or 7mm Int-R will work ok though, I've used both. - dan

how about a 7-57?

T-Roy the 7-57 is almost the same as the 7-08. Still not a good idea on a contender frame. If you are looking for a cartridge that you can purchase factory ammo for, the 7-30 Waters is the way to go. I have that cartridge chambered in a rifle barrel for my TC. It works real good on deer and black bear. Total cost was just over $600.00 for the barrel, wood stock set, scope and mounts. It is a light weight and will still shoot a quarter at 100m.

7x57 pressures are too high as well. - dan
