Newbie Question: Alternate calibers using Model 10 Action?

[rmidgett]

Last year I obtained a Savage 10FCP in .223. I'm curious as to what other calibers I can use with this action with a change of barrel.
May I access other calibers by changing the barrel & bolt but use the same action?
Are there recommended resources for learning how this is done?

Yes, any small shank Savage pre-fit barrel in any caliber you choose, with some limitations such as WSSM chamberings. For example a change from 223 to 308 with barrel and bolt head change is easy.

Lots of information here on the home page, and on Youtube. It's quite easy with a Savage.

Barrel and bolt head swap? 20 TCM, 20 VT, .221 Fireball, 20 Practical,20 BR. 22 BR, 25 BR, 6 BR. 6.8 BR, 6.8 SPC and a BUNCH in between, just to name a few. And the list goes on.

Change to some different calibers may require not only a bolt head change but a magazine change.

Lots of good information in the savage FAQ tab.
