[QUOTE="XSIVSPD, post: 2033908, member: 98308"] The outside of the receiver is the same diameter no matter if it's a large shank or small. They have the same total amount of material there, just in different places. It seems like the only rifles that only come in large shank are catriges that are wsm, rum, nosler, and lapua based. This is because the diameter of that brass is larger than the typical 300win/7mm rem brass and leaves less material immediately around the chamber. 300prc or 30sm are smaller diameter so don't *NEED* this. If you're super concerned though, you could always have Gunsmith open you action up to accept the large shank barrels. You just won't be able to use small shank ones on it again. Personally I wouldn't be concerned with it. Which is why my savage prc is a small shank 😉 [/QUOTE]
