[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 1600449, member: 89878"] With it being a Savage you could just sell the barrel that's on there, order a new pre-fit and bolt head and head to the races. If you're wanting to check out the PRC, then go for it. You're not destroying sentimental value of an older gun, or anything. Variety is the spice of life. No offense to those above, but I wouldn't go through the added cost of going with an SST cartridge (more expensive dies, pre-fit/reamer rental, brass, etc) for a Savage axis range toy/something you're just doing for fun. If you're looking to do it on the cheap then a pre-fit, barrel gauges, bolt head should start around $500/$550 depending on what you want. Only consideration for me would be what could I sell the axis for, plus what I would've put into it probably puts me into the $800's, might just be able to get an off the shelf gun for that. But sometimes a project is more fun. [/QUOTE]
