[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1909291, member: 65116"] I addition to easily changing barrels on the Savage 110 (I have quite a few barrels I swap from the to time), you can also change the bolt face from standard to magnum so you can be shooting a 243 and in less than an hour you can change the bolt face and barrel to 458 Winchester. If you have a stock that can handle a bull barrel, then all barrels will be free floating. Other actions make it expensive to change the bolt face. When changing bolt faces, equip both bolt faces with the extractor and ejector so you don't have to bother with the pins and springs involved. Change all the firing pins to the small diameter ones to be modern. This is easy stuff... Set the headspace using GO and NOGO gauges, assemble the rifle (always use a torque wrench) and you are ready to go to the range to zero your "new" rifle. [/QUOTE]
