Model 10 predator hunter max 1 barrel swap?

[navistar82]

I'm somewhat new to rifles. Am I understanding right that the barrels on savage rifles can be changed fairly easily by a gunsmith?

Reason I'm asking because here in Indiana 243's and 308's are legal deer rounds on private property until 2020.

I'm looking at the 10 predator hunter max 1 in 243 and would like to know if in 2021 Indiana possibly opens it up to more calibers I can buy a 260 or 7mm-08 barrel (i know to stay in the 308 family) and have a new gun without buying a whole gun.

Thanks,
Dave

Who is making the laws in that state? I just looked at this list, http://wishtv.com/2016/04/05/dnr-answers-questions-regarding-new-rifle-law-for-deer-hunting/

and that is one of the most ignorant things I have ever seen.

Wonder what the logic is there? A 300 RUM is legal but a 270 isn't? Wow!

To answer your question yes the barrels are easily changed. If you can change the wipers or oil on your vehicle you can change the barrel on a Savage rifle. A wrench, headspace gauges and a pair of wooden blocks plus a vise or press are all that is needed.

Ya, it doesnt make sense in the caliber choice.
