[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 684602, member: 10"] More then likely it would work but I would not do it personally. In fact any Savage I build for customers has the barrel lock nut removed and the barrel is installed just as a Rem 700 barrel would be. Does three things for the rifle 1. Makes for a much stronger, stiffer barreled receiver system with the use of the larger diameter shanks. 2. Greatly improves the bedding surfaces. 3. Just makes it look 10 times better as it really cleans up the lines of the rifle. There is a reason Savage dropped the ultramag options from their rifles, I would recommend that if your using any savage barrel design, I would go no larger then the belted magnum. Even the 338 Lapua Savages have been having some issues from what I hear. [/QUOTE]
