I would rebarrel to a more efficient caliber like the creedmoor any day. However, The savage 1899 has a short magazine box and it might be difficult to get factory 6.5creedmoor loads to fit. I think if you reload with lighter 120gr bullets you will better off. If I was you and rebarreling my 1899 I would go with the 250savage or the 250 savage ackley improved in a fast twist barrel and shoot those new super duper blackjack .25 caliber bullets.
