I have two savage rifles. One 22-250 and one 7 mag. I put a McGowen barrel on the 22-250 and love it. Wanted to put a new varmint contour on7 mag but haven't found one. Looked at 6.5 - 284 which is available in large shank which both of mine are. The bolt face is right on the sa but is the action and magazine long enough for it. Lapua brass and 6.5 bullets seem to be available which is a big plus.
