    Newbie Question: Alternate calibers using Model 10 Action?


    Last year I obtained a Savage 10FCP in .223. I'm curious as to what other calibers I can use with this action with a change of barrel.
    May I access other calibers by changing the barrel & bolt but use the same action?
    Are there recommended resources for learning how this is done?

    Yes, any small shank Savage pre-fit barrel in any caliber you choose, with some limitations such as WSSM chamberings. For example a change from 223 to 308 with barrel and bolt head change is easy.

    Lots of information here on the home page, and on Youtube. It's quite easy with a Savage.
    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.

    Barrel and bolt head swap? 20 TCM, 20 VT, .221 Fireball, 20 Practical,20 BR. 22 BR, 25 BR, 6 BR. 6.8 BR, 6.8 SPC and a BUNCH in between, just to name a few. And the list goes on.

    You will find this useful. http://www.savageshooters.com/PDF_Files/WhatFits.pdf

    Change to some different calibers may require not only a bolt head change but a magazine change.

    Lots of good information in the savage FAQ tab.
