Hi guys

I have a old 110 savage rifle non accutrigger. its currently chambered for a 30-06 round. i have a 308 barrel off a model 16 ( stainless steel barrel)
Im contemplating changing the barrel out to either the 308 or going out and buying a heavy barrel 30-06 or 308. i use the gun for deer hunting so i think the heavy barrel would be a little too much to carry around the woods all day.
i don't reload so all the ammo shot will be off the shelf stuff. is it worth the swap or no. All I need is the go no go guages and my buddy s a machinist and he can make me the barrel nut wrench and a barrel vice. i also have a 280 caliber barrel but that was just a stupid thing I did and ended up with a 300$ mistake of a rifle barrel.
Thanx

Rob
