Reply With QuoteI did basically did the same thing. It became a real tack driver. I used the same bolt head and used the standard 6mm BR Foster GO gauge with out moving the extractor.
I have a Model 12 VLP in 243 and am wanting to swap to a Shilen 6Norma BR 28" select match bull barrel. Will I have to change boltheads? Also, which go-gauge will work without removing the extractor? Will the factory laminated stock work with minor fitting? Thanks
VLP 22-250<br />VLP 243<br />Stevens 25-06<br />Stevens 308, now a 6Norma BR with Criterion bull and Bobby Hart LRT<br />Savage Model 10 243<br />93R 17HMR<br />an old Savage model 5 22 tube feed bolt action<br /><br />And they all shoot great.<br />Also several off-brand stuff

Yes the bolt head is the same. You may have to open up the barrel channel depending on the difference in contour.
