Dan,
Welcome to the forum. I am fairly new here as well and just learning the whole Savage thing. Are you looking to feed from the magazine or use the rifle as a single shot? I believe the answer to that will have bearing on the action you use. If you want to shoot some of the higher BC bullets and have them seated out towards the lands, the short action magazine will not accomodate the rounds. You will also need to purchase a barrel that has a standard shank unless you purchase an action that has a large shank. Savage actions come in two Shank sizes. The factroy WSM actions and target actions come with large shanks, most others are small/standard shanks. There are many here who are much more knowledgeable than me who will come along to help out. Good Luck!
Regards,
Dave
