Changing Out My Savage 111 Barrel for an Aftermarket Shaw 35 Whelen

[hawkeyesatx823]

I finally got the chance to order my barrel change kit to make my Savage 111 into a 35 Whelen!

It’ll be here just before my birthday!!

I’m SO pumped!!!

What kind of Shank does an old Savage 111 30-06 have on the barrel?

I have found a place that has 2 more older Savage 111's, pre accutrigger, going for really decent prices.

Also, would a 35 Whelen go guage and no-go guage work in a .338-06 barrel?

Would they also work in a 9.3x62 barrel?

Just curious.

This should help you with shank size and ID.

35 Whelen, 25-06, 338-06 and many other cartridge based the 30-06 will use the same Go and NoGo gauges.

Why do others stick their noses up when someone mentions Savage 110/111 rifles?

Genetics.
