[QUOTE="bogger01, post: 1003278, member: 24606"] savage has a few chambered in short action calibers.they have the usual 308,243,223 etc. and then they have my favorite which is 300wsm.you of course can buy any old stainless action or donor rifle,either a 12 or 16 are the stainless actions,and rebarrel it to whatever you want.barrel swaps aren't hard and if you need any help I made a video on how to do it.a 243a.i. is fine but just remember that magazine length will play a part,especially if you decide to shoot something like the 115 grain d-tacs or you want to seat your bullets to the lands or just off of them.if you load them single it doesn't matter.one last thing you need to make sure of is the measurement of your action screw spacing on your stock.the older short actions are 4.27 inches and the newer ones are 4.4 inches.if you have any more questions just holler.martygun) [/QUOTE]
