[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 721402, member: 2736"] There are several choices for a simple barrel change (No action modifications) The 7/08 is a 308 necked down to 7mm. the 260 rem is a 308 necked down to 6.5 and the 243 is a 308 necked to 243 These are all basically spin offs of the 308 so they will all work in your action without any modifications to it. The 6.5 creedmoor is a good round and so is the 6.5x47 but are not the same parent case as the 308 and may not work as well unless installed by a smith. I have built lots of the 6.5s and if you are going to do it your self I recomend the 260 rem. All you will need is a barrel wrench for the savage barrel nut. (About $30.00) and a Head space gauge for the 260 rem ($35.00) and a pre threaded and chambered barrel. We can walk you through assembly if you need the help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
