re-barrel questions

I plan to do a re-barrel and wanted to know what all I need to do and which gun I have is best for the re-barrel effort.

I want a 6.5 grendel LW barrel and it says it is compatible with Savage 10, 110, 112 (and I bet a whole lot more).

Here are the guns I have and which of these will work for my conversion (using the same bolt) and will I need to replace the
mag feed with new follower, etc.?

Stevens 200 in .270 long action (I prefer to use this gun if it will work since I have another 270 with Timney).
Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 short action
Savage 16 weather warrior in 308

thanks in advance!

Hi foster. Welcome to the forum.

Please be careful about double posting. The mods don't like that.

The Grendel case is about a half inch shorter than a 308 case and has an oddball head size. Making it work in a bolt gun is doable, but there are more suitable cartridges. I'd suggest a 6.5 x 47 Lapua or 260 Remington.

If you absolutely have to have a Grendel and need a repeater, start with a short action. You'll need to get a custom bolt head. SSS can make them.

Feeding from the magazine will probably be a little iffy. Might be best to use a single shot follower.


Good luck,

thanks, I must have missed the rule on the posting. I put in both places because I have both Savage and Stevens models that could be candidates.
