[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 1494162, member: 23225"] Sorry to bring this topic back up but I've been busy as of late. I broke my elbow and it looks like I'll have some down time for the next few months so I think I'll go with the Savage for my 6.5-300wsm build. Found that shilen and x-caliber barrels both chamber a no neck turn 6.5wsm in the prefit Savage barrels. Also found a nice B&C stock with an aluminum block on sale that will fit model 10/12. Now I just need a bottom metal that allows for AI Wsm mags (2.950" internal) Problem is finding a Savage 10 with a top bolt release for under 500$. I'm trying to stay as close as I can to my budget. Question is though, are all the model 10 savages the same in terms of dimensions. Example: are the ejection ports and mag-wells the same size? I'm worried if I find on in .308win the dimensions will be different than say a 300 wsm. I know I'll have to replace the bolt head and magazine but I'm going to replace the mags anyway and the bolt face is no big deal. Just want to make sure before I purchase a non-issue non-magnum model 10. Thanks again guys [/QUOTE]
