| No experience with this retailer but I found these. https://rtparmor.com/products/a_60046I don’t know how much your son shoots or how many deer he expects to kill. I can go a whole year annd only shoot a deer rifle 3 or 4 times a year. Check zero and then kill a deer or two. I can make a box or two of cartridges last a long time. I’d personally do that before I’d rebarrel.

| I did an AmmoSeek seach and found some ammo but my God is it expensive.
I agree it depends on how much you are going to be shooting it but I would start with finding ammo first.
If going to be putting a lot of rounds through it then maybe re-barrel to something more popular. |

| Ebay one...Cost you more than that to have it installed. Or you could learn to form the brass. I could send you reloading dies, been trying to find them a home for years. |

| I am not a gunsmith so I'm showing some ignorance here but isn't the 7STW a magnum length chamber and magazine? And the 7RM is a standard long action? So this rifle has had the chamber reamed to have a longer chamber and the mag well has been worked. So can you even go BACK to 7RM from 7STW? That is what OP is suggesting, correct? Going back to 7RM?

Savor the limelight
| Doing some more reading on the internet reveals what I posted to be a common misconception. It seems the magazine box and feed rails maybe different, but that wouldn’t prevent one from going back to 7mm Rem Mag by rebarreling.
I’d see if I could find the dies for 7mm STW and learn to reload it. |

I believe the 7mm STW and 7mm Rem. Mag. would use the same action length. The long 700 action. |
