Wanting to know if the 110BA can be made to shoot .308win as well. I would assume, like all other savages, i can swap out the barrel and bolt head. I realize i will have issues with the mag. Does this sound at all practical or do i just need to buy a 110BA and a 10BA? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I'd do one each. You'd need to change a lot if you wanted to mag-feed it, even then might not work.
You should have no problems swapping the barrel out. Not sure if a specialized barrel nut wrench is required. As far as feeding, I would go single shot if all possible.
You will also need to swap out the bolt head
You really don't have a choice if you shoot .308 in the 110 BA there isn't a magazine available to feed it, unless you want to go bending the feed lips etc.Quote:

If you want to shoot 308 to save money over the 300WM (you can save about about 25-30% ) on powder then get a 10BA (but wait til the new one ships with the PRS ). IF you want to save money over shooting .338LM , which would be a pretty good savings, then you can afford to shoot 338LM which means you have the money and should already own a 10BA or something similar.
I had both. I still have the 338LM 110BA. I have plenty of other .308's that match the performance of the 10BA and the fore-end "rang" which bugged me so I sold it.
The 10 BA/S i have is in .308 purchased it as such as have Lot's of 308 stuff and didn't want to go too the expense of buying everything to load 338 LM as to extra magazines are available from here http://www.accurate-mag.com/Home_Page.html
