I have a freind that has a marlin 336 in 375 winchester. He never uses it and was speculating on a conversion. Two questions arise:
1) When winchester originally brought the round out it created the big bore, beefed up frame, yet marlin used the existing 336 frame. Is the 336 generally up to the desired pressure rating or is the action beefed up in some other way. Meaning, could any recent manufacture 336 in 30-30 be converted to 375 win?
2) We discussed converting the 375 win marlin to 7mm international rimmed and useing 375 brass to form the cases. What kind of performance do you think could be accieved?
