I have a dual port 6 BR savage. Thinking of replacing barrel with one chambered for .223. Can I use a .223 savage bolt in the 6br action? I have all the pieces.

yep. Just be sure to headspace it properly. All else is the same.

Next question: WHY???? 6br is the best I have ever had or seen! :)

I have two 6brs. Was able to get a brux .223 for a savage action so thought I'd try it.

Have that Brux rechambered to .223AI while you're at it. Are you shooting short range or longer.

There is a range that goes out to 600 yds close by so maybe try some 90 vlds and stretch it out.
