[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 304080, member: 6705"] [b]Re: Converting Savage 30.06 to 6.5x24??[/b] Model # will be on the barrel. If it is really old it will be on the action near the ejection port. Just a new barrel will get you shooting. Anything else you want to change will be up to you. You may need to tweak the mag box lips to make it feed correct. I didn't. Single shot follower will definitely fix any feeding problems. If you are lucky, you have the 3 screw trigger that can be adjusted easily. If not, the two best options are $85 for a SSS competition trigger or the Basix Sav-2. Your wood stock is decent. Not great, but better than the plastic Savage stock. Best stock upgrades are B&C stocks for about $100, a take-off BVSS stock for $150, after that the list expands to Stockade, SSS, Russo. Also, I hear that Choate is close to releasing their LA tactical stock. [/QUOTE]
