Picked up one of E. Arthur Brown's custom Savage barrels in .260 Rem. Original plan was to rebarrel my Savage 110 that I previously rebarreled from 30-06 to 338-06. I like the 338-06 too much and now am in the hunt for a donor rifle/action for this project.

The barrel is advertised to work with any Savage centerfire action except for the short magnum and target action.

Any recommendations on what to look for in the donor rifle/action?

I know I need to be looking for the appropriate bolt face (.308) but seem to recall reading on this forum previously that either a long or short action will work.
