Hello , I just picked up a new savage short action large shank magnum action. I've been thinking of what to build off of it, and the 284 winchester has caught my interest.Im thinking 139-150 grain bullets, so short action would work fine. What all would need to change , I know the bolt head and magazine. I've been " searching " and have come up with 10,000 things , all different it seems..lol.
If it's more trouble then necessary, any one have a good suggestion for caliber.
Thanks all
Ed
New to you action or new-new?
IIRC the centerfeed short-mag actions have a unique firing pin assembly and front baffle as Savage made the lugs on the short-mag bolt heads thicker when they dumped the CRF staggered-feed setup. (from 1/2" to 9/16").
