Has anyone ever opened up a Remington to accept large shank savage barrels? Savage large shank is 1.125 x 20. I believe the remington is 1.022 x 16. The outside diameter of the actions are the same.
I know savages have been opened up from small to large shank, but some say it shouldn't be done.
I don't know anything about Remington's except they have a lot more after market support.
Is there a reason why this would or would not work?
