I think I know the answer but too much good knowledge not to check.

With this rifle if I choose to rebarrel to 6.5 x 55 from the 6.5 x 284 offering with either a McGowen or Shilen chambered 6.5 x 55 drop in it is simply a barrel change and head spacing issue correct?

I am assuming the stock will be fine for Savage varmint contour as well.

Thank you in advance for responses
