I was referred to this site for my savage questions.

I have a 111 la in 270 that Im wondering whats involved in cambering to a sa cartridge, if its even possible.
Id like to keep the stock also, it has the old indian chief.

Are you wanting to know if you can put a short action barrel, (308, 243, etc.) on a long action receiver? If so, then yes you can.

Yes, you can.

All you need is the appropriate barrel and bolt head.

Feeding from the magazine may work or not depending on what round you want to shoot out of it.

I only use long actions for all of my builds. I have one that is currently a 223 repeater, but the action started it's life as a 7mm Magnum.

If you give some more specifics, we can give you some specific information.
