This is also considering you get a CIP bottom metal or chassis.


I have $295 invested in my flat-back 7mm RM Savage 111 donor. A match barrel will run me about $300. My plan is to use the birch stock. Spending hundreds on bottom metal and possibly more on a replacement stock is out of the question. If I wanted to go that route I would not have purchased the Savage to begin with.

I’ll stand by my statement ‘You may end up with a single-shot .300PRC as the max COL is longer than the Savage 7mm RM mag length. 3.7" vs 3.5"’, the key words being “You may”.

In my case the .300 PRC would be a single-shot rifle even with SAAMI minimum length (3.575”) ammo.
