[QUOTE="B23, post: 825820, member: 13222"] It sounds like both of your donor rifles are short actions, yes?? I don't know much about the Savage but you can put an extended mag box in a SA Rem. that will get you out to 2.9 OAL. With the longggg 6mm bullets like the 105 Berger Hybrid and 107 SMK, that still may not be enough though. Outlaw6.0, what is your C.O.A.L with a loaded up 107 SMK? IMO, the 6-284 and 6.5-284 really shine when using the heavy for caliber bullets but if you don't plan on shooting 600+ yards on a regular basis you can/could do a 1-10tw 6-284 and shoot the 90ish class bullets. They certainly don't have the BC and long legs of the 105+ class but inside of 600yards they are very potent. My 6-284 is one of my favorite yote getters and it's built on a SA Rem with a 1-12tw barrel that I shoot the 75Vmax in. I agree with Outlaw6.0 that a LA Rem is MUCH preferred but if a SA is all you have it can be done and if you plan on shooting the 105-107's I would look into having your smith put the extended mag box in.
