This winter, I have a craving to build a 7mm Rem Mag. It will be a moderate range deer and bear rifle, and maybe a gun I take on western hunts in the future.

I’m going to start with a 111 in .30-06. My plan is to swap the bolt head, put an aftermarket barrel and stock on it, and eventually bed it. I’ve done barrel and stock swaps before, but never converted a long action to a magnum.

1) Does anyone have a visual aid, or perhaps a video they can share on how to do a bolt face swap on a Savage?

2) Do I need to replace anything else, besides the mag well (blind mag), in order to get it to function? All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, and wish me luck!
