Call Savage and tell them what you got and they'll tell whether or not if your rifle can be used. I think it was small shank verses large shank... based on the serial number they'll tell you.

Here's some additional info that they replied with: Savage comes in two shank sizes, either 1 and 1/16 x 20 TPI or 1 and 1/8 by 20 TPI. If your action has one of those thread dimensions then
yes you can use our Savage Drop In barrels (if you are not sure then
call Savage 413-568-7001 with your serial number and have them let you
know the shank dimensions). That means that even the large shanks don't seem to meet the 1.350.
And as far as Shilen goes...unfortunately they they don't make their pre-fit Savage in 338 Lapua either....I asked.
