[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 434688, member: 1193"] Nathan, I'm not sure this is accurate in all Savage cases, but here's is what I did, and why, on a Striker. The Striker started as a 22-250 (standard bolthead) I went to a 6.5 wssm ( mag bolthead). I tried the only magnum bolthead I could find, a LA magnum one. It wouldn't go because there is an indentation on the inside of the bolt body on the short action and a corresponding inlet on the bolt head, the LA didn't have this inlet. I wound up sending the LA bolthead to a smith to have the inlet milled in to it. After that it fit and functioned perfectly, cost me $50 buck about 4 yrs ago. I'm not sure if all SA bolt bodies and heads have the indent and inlet or not, but at the time it was the only way I could find to get a push feed mag bolthead on a SA bolt. You might want to PM [B]geargrinder[/B] or [B]hammertyme[/B] on this site, those to gents have forgotten more about Savages than I'll ever know. Chris [/QUOTE]
