[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1111424, member: 55230"] The caliber change is irrelevant, but I did nothing to my action. If I were you I wouldn't bother, if for some reason you're having issues then have it trued. Twisting savage barrels is like tying a shoe. Call Jim at northland, he'll gladly set you up, he carries the CBI barrels. Get a new lug and machined nut. I'd also shoot the vld's over the thinner jacketed berger hunting bullets, especially for elk. I've had mag issues w/ my 280 shooting 180s, I wish I had gone w/ the 284. Something to consider, and its easy to swap out the bolt heads on savages. [/QUOTE]
