    Any difference in bolts between CF and SF rifles?


    I have a .243 that I have built off a Center Feed short action. I recently acquired a new .223 that is Stagger Feed. I'm wondering if I ever decide the rebarrel the .243 CF into a .223 or .204 ruger, could I just grab the .223 bolt from the Stagger Feed rifle and be good to go. Seems like it would be fine, but I know Savage changes stuff all the time, and I didnt want a bolt that might be 50 thousands off or something and cause a kaboom! So, basically are the Center feed and Stagger Feed bolts the same?

    Yes they are the same.

    If you're switching barrels, bolts, and actions around you still need to headspace properly.
