[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1897474, member: 1656"] 1) He will have to change the bolt head to get the right bolt face. This is one of the conveniences of a Savage. 2) OAL may be an issue. I have shot the 111 in Lapua but don't have one to measure. May not be able to mag feed bullets seated at the length you want, or not able to use heavy bullets and mag feed. 3) Extending on #2, one would need to determine if the action is set up to feed the longer round. A Remington pattern action requires substantial modification of the mag opening in the bottom of the action and the bolt stop. I've never converted a Savage so I don't know how feasible it is.
