[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2035369, member: 11960"] That's not an accurate comparison. The concern with the Savage small shank barrels is that the barrel diameter around the chamber is relatively small because of the barrel nut, it's not directly related to the thread tennon. A Savage prefit barrel has a smaller diameter around the chamber than a shouldered Rem 700 barrel. The concern with the Lapua bolt face on standard Savage (and Rem 700 actions) is more about the strength of the bolt lugs and abutments than the barrel tennon. That's why the lugs on a factory Lapua bolt face are so much thicker. I've had small shank RUM barrels and they worked without an issue; I tend to think that a large shank is a better option though. You could always have a smith chamber a shouldered barrel for you and then you don't have to worry about it. [/QUOTE]
