SA Cartidge in a LA...What Else Necessary?
Hello all, first post besides the intro....
I've done a pretty thourough search here, believe I have the info, but want to ask to make sure.
I have a Long Action 110 in 7mm RemMag (stagger feed) that I'm going to do a barrel swap on. It's got the "sporter profile" on it right now, and beside the caliber change, I want to get a varmint profile barrel on it. The gun will be used to teach myself (hopefully) past 600yds. I have chosen the .308 because I have quite a bit of both loaded ammo and components for the caliber.
When I change to a "short action" cartridge like the .308, I understand bolt head will need to be swapped out. I've read conflicting info on whether a magazine spacer will need to be made to take up the difference in length. What's the opinion on this? Is it more of an "individual action" type thing where I wil just need to see if issues arise?
Any other helpful hints with the swap?
I appreciate the feedback.
