I converted a LA Rem 700 to a LA Savage successfully, but it was quite a bit of work. I just gauged everything off of the bolt handle notch. I then had to fill in the tang area, ejection port area, and hog out everything on the inside. After adding some wood, bondo, pillars, and bedding it twice It turned out pretty good. All that said I probably wouldn't do it again, however stocks are easily purchased here.
