Has anyone ever opened up a Remington to accept large shank savage barrels? Savage large shank is 1.125 x 20. I believe the remington is 1.022 x 16. The outside diameter of the actions are the same.
I know savages have been opened up from small to large shank, but some say it shouldn't be done.
I don't know anything about Remington's except they have a lot more after market support.
Is there a reason why this would or would not work?

Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
My Remington actions mic almost exactly the same diameter as my Savage target actions. Hope this helps
Why would you even wanna do it???

I wanted to be humorous on my first post and probably failed. The reality is that you can go with a Remage barrel for around the same price. The Remington bolt head is much different than the a Savage and the Remington barrels have a profile that is much different as well. Shilen addressed that. Start doing some research and you will find it is not worth it.
Remington discussions are Off-Topic on a Savage site and don't belong in the 110 board. Moved accordingly.
