By the time you pay shipping, you could probably get a PTG bolthead and take it to a local smith for not much more $, and have it done in a few days (or same day if you get lucky). Less than an hour to swap a bolthead and screw on a barrel.

Same work for a smith as a simple barrel swap, since the bolt needs to be stripped anyway...

I've built 4 rifles using Rem actions and "Remage" barrels so barrel install is no issue. The bolt head is different but I'm assuming that lapping the lugs (which was done on all of the actions) is the same procedure with a Savage bolt head as it is a Remington bolt?
