[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1655122, member: 11960"] The gunsmith may have been thinking of a standard Savage 110 action. The 112 Magnum action is beefed up in a few critical locations and it uses a special bolt head with 9/16" lugs. I'd probably go with a shouldered barrel instead of using a barrel nut, but that's the only extra precaution I'd take. I've done some pretty ridiculous things to Savage target actions over the years, including shooting a steady diet of 350gr SMKs at 3050 fps in a .375 wildcat. I'm not going to say that it was safe, only that it worked for me. The newer 112 Magnum action is arguably stronger than what I played with so I'd be pretty comfortable building either the 33 or 37XC on one. [/QUOTE]
