Which bolt face for Savage 16 going from .223 to .308?

[Upjeeper]

I have a Savage model 16 (short action, .223 caliber with a bolt face size of 0.384") that i'm going to be rebarreling into a .308 (bolt face size of 0.470")
I've seen that PTG has bolt faces for around $90, but i've also seen Brownells has them for around $40. It's not a benchrest gun but more a deer rifle so i'd rather not spend the extra $50 if I can (money is tight).
The problem is, Brownells has several different bolt faces in the size i need but their catalog isn't real descriptive.
I think this is the one i want

but it doesn't even call for a bolt face size of 0.470"


please and thank you

The thing is you want to make sure you don't end up with a long action bolt head. Go with someone that list the difference or call Brownell's to make sure you are getting the correct part.

RustyShackle is correct. I just received that part from Brownells and it's a short action, .473 bolt head.

Will a .308 cartridge fit in and feed from a .223 mag?

No it will not.

Your looking at the "Precision Machined Custom" bolt head. Go with the standard "Precision Machined" unit for $69.50. PTG parts are WELL WORTH the money. I used both the PTG machined billet barrel nut and .250" recoil lug, in my build. The bolt head is next.
