[QUOTE="CaptBeach, post: 543214, member: 31011"] I've been thinking about building a Savage switch barrel all packaged in a Pelican case. I am a former Marine 2111/2112. I've been building and shooting for 30+ years now...FIRST BOLT GUN BUILD...I've worked on them and tuned them but first ground up Savage build...I love Savages. Concept Savage long action .473 bolt face Choate LA Tactical Stock, pillar and glass bedded. Aftermarket trigger unless the donor gun is an Accutrigger. 20MOA Base High end optics Harris BP CBI Bottom Metal and AICS mags Mounting one of the following barrels and the other two with proper Head Space gauges stored in the Pelican case. 26" Heavy in 30-06 20" Heavy in .308 26" Heavy in .300WM with correct bolt face My thinking is I can run the .308 in the LA still using the CBI/AICS mags (same cartridge diameter?) and a dedicated .300WM mag (do I need this) anyway, the .308 will fit into the 30-06 mags with room to spare. My thinking is I can have a custom .308 barrel with the throat set out a little farther and run some VLD bullets with a longer OAL and still fit in the mags with room to spare. Thoughts? Ideas? Experiences? Discuss... Thanks, Capt Beach [/QUOTE]
