Hello Savage experts,
I have a Alaskan coming in 338 WM. Thinking about turning it right around and sending to be re-bored (keeping the factory irons) or re-barreled and adding iron sights. I want to keep it in the 20" range and rebore it for a heavy cartridge that suits the 20" bore better. I have doubts that the 338WM was the best choice with a 20" barrel. What I am most concerned with is the action length and what my options are. I did look up the list of bolt face diameters and I saw options like 458, 358 norma, 350 rem mag and 450 marlin. To rebore I imagine having to go much larger due to the original chamber size. Can you help me understand what is possible?
