Custom Straight-Wall Rifle Problem

[PawPawWPG]

I live in Southern Michigan in the former limited firearm zone. I like classic wood stocked rifles and in 2019 I had a custom 450 Bushmaster built - Remington 700, threaded Shilen barrel, Timney trigger, and I’ve got a vx3i 2.5-8 mounted on a Badger Ordnance 20mm rail. I’ve shot 17 deer with it.

Now that we can use real rifles… I picked up a pre-64 Model 70 30/06 and already have a 280 AI and a couple other older rifles which I gravitate to (shot my last doe last year with a 25-35 Winchester from 1923).

Do I try and sell out of state at this point?

I guess this is a half “looking for opinions” and half advertisement post.

I'd rebarrel it into something usable. 7mm-08, 260, 308, Creedmoor (ack!) etc.

I'd keep it in case the law gets changed back.

I'd keep it in case the law gets changed back.

Or unless you decide to hunt another state that requires straight wall.

I’d just keep it as is and apply for nonres tags in states that require straight walls.
