Hello Everyone.

I would like your thoughts on a project that I am thinking about. I have an old Savage 110 Model J chambered in 250-3000 savage. The poor old thing is just tired. The action and stock are in good shape, but the barrel has seen better days. What I'm thinking about is re-barreling it to either .22-250 or 243 Winchester. Unless I've missed something, this would be very straight forward. Change the barrel, set the head space, reassemble and shoot. A factory profile barrel should fit the original stock but could take a little work. The original bolt face is the same size, the cartridge (either of them) should fit well in the magazine and feed well. Please let me know what I'm missing. This seems too easy to be true.

Thanks in advance!
Dave
