Very nice. It's great to restore and use something of sentimental value! I love pheasant hunting with the Browning side-by-side my Uncle gave me years ago. Any challenges mating the short action dbm up to the long action? How does it feed? I may be interested in doing a similar project.
Great build....back in the day when Savage had some of their .223 models on long actions I had one....really shot well.
How do you get the 223 cartridge to feed in the 308 magazine?
I am using CDI's Savage long action/308 mag DBM that uses 308 AICS magazines, vs. their "traditional" long action DBM that uses 300WM magazines.
I use AICS 223 magazines; they are polymer, hold 10 rounds, and fit any DBM that uses AICS-style 308 magazines.
Congrats on a very nice rifle and a great write up!
Well done!
I like it, I am getting ready to start working on my first bolt gun which was a Savage Tactical 110 LA in 223. I have also neglected this rifle for years and am going to bring it back to life. Im thinking of shortning the barrel and adding a surefire muzzle brake to it and a new stock, cerokoting it desert tan.
What did you have to do with your bolt to have it run .223? I have a 30-06 long action and I would like to convert it back and forth between .223 and 30-06.
If you would have a part number, that would be helpful.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

SSS sells an adapter for the two different bolt heads. and may even have a bolt head.
