[QUOTE="bobh918, post: 783748, member: 15833"] Hi guys! I just acquired a savage model 16 DBM chambered in 270WSM. This is my first savage, as I'm a rem guy and I always have a smith work on them. Anyhow, I would like to try my hand at rebarreling and all that good stuff you can do with a savage by your self. I'm fairly handy and have all necessary tools to do everything. My question is, what would I need in order to change the caliber from a 270WSM to say a 243 or 308? The bolt head is currently a push feed, can I just order a new bolt head and use the same parts from the current WSM head? I just want to get all of my ducks in a row before I start ordering parts. Only thing I have ordered so far is a new stock with the correct 4.4" spacing. I plan on getting a new barrel and all of the other goodies soon. The reason for going with a different caliber is I already have a rifle in 270WSM and would like something that I can take varmint hunting and maybe shoot in some tactical matches. Any help is greatly appreciated! Bob [/QUOTE]
