Hello , I just picked up a new savage short action large shank magnum action. I've been thinking of what to build off of it, and the 284 winchester has caught my interest.Im thinking 139-150 grain bullets, so short action would work fine. What all would need to change , I know the bolt head and magazine. I've been " searching " and have come up with 10,000 things , all different it seems..lol.
If it's more trouble then necessary, any one have a good suggestion for caliber.
Thanks all
Ed

for my creations.
