    Only Savage rebarrels I have done are what someone would consider "normal" (6.5x55, .308)

    But, I did rebarrel my AR15 in 6mm-.223

    I happen to have a 6mm-06 Improved. It is probably the wierdest but also have 22-250 AI and 6mm AI, both with 1 in 8 twists.

    So how do you get your Savage to handle the rimmed rounds (219 zip, 45-70, etc.?) Would love to see pics of that!

    Ide really love to get a 45 acp savage going. Ive seen pics of projects on here before but it was.single shot. Ide be interested in seeing how to fit a double stack mag or maybe even single stack 1911 mag into the mag well or modify a DBM have one welded onto it. That just sounds like to much fun shooting steel at medium range!

    Rimmed cases are a bit tricky to feed but not as bad as u would think.that is, once i started using the lee enfield follower,or one made near its specs.

    On the 30/30s now i use 30 rem brass its one of the most easy to make accurate and most forgiving.
    The 45acp is single stack 1911 mag fitted into a single shot stock cut tight enough for the mag and modified orig 1922 mag release ( kind of )

    With all the odd calibers that have been listed here, the two I posted almost seem everyday run of the mill.
