    Need help choosing an Savage action for .300 RUM


    I am looking at buying a 30" barrel threaded for a Large shank savage action and chambered in .300 RUM.

    My question is, what should I look for in a Savage action to accomodate this barrel? Is there any std. action that will support this without a bunch of modification?

    Long action or magnum Action length?
    What size bolt face?
    What about magazine size?
    Other requirements?

    Thanks for the help guys.

    There is no magnum action. Only long and short.

    You'll need a magnum bolt head

    The only large shank actions are the target actions, WSM actions, and the fairly rare RUM action.

    You could have the barrel turned down to a small shank and put it on any long action.

    You could always get the Savage 110 BA 338 Lapua.

    It is a long action large shank. You'd have to swap in a magnum bolt head.
