Are you meaning
a lightweight critter rifle or a LV competition rifle? If you are looking at a PD or Gopher rifle, go for it. If you are thinking competition, please realize you are pretty much wasting your time and money.

Thinking about building a lightweight varmint rifle in 6ppc, action would be a Remington model 7. Anyone know if the rifle would function (feed and eject) with this cartridge?
I know PTG sells bolts for the model 7 with ppc boltface.
Thanks Joe

I have had people tell me they made 700's in PPC feed from the magazine fine. But most I have ever seen ejected ok but on pushing the bolt forward to feed the cartridge out of the magazine the cartridge usually flies out of the rifle.Thinking about building a lightweight varmint rifle in 6ppc, action would be a Remington model 7.

So the short answer to will it " feed and eject" is NO.

If your model 7 was originally built in a 223 case size then it is easy to modify the feed rails to function. If the receiver was a 308 size case. Well not so easy they usually fly out unless you epoxy or weld the rails and re-cut them.

This could easily be true, all the PPC converted 700's I ever owned or dealt with were formerly .243, 22-250, or other 308 bolt face cal.'s
