[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 274814, member: 3733"] I would not be concerned with the small shank, what I would suggest is to have the barrel fit to the action without the nut. That way your using a full 1.250 dia barrel shank. The thread tennon dia on a small shank is near identical to a remington. 1.055-1.060" and with the savage having a 20 pitch thread there is still more "meat" around the chamber. This negates the weak link which I feel is the nut. As far as cartiges to feed a short action mag, and reach out to 1000. Of the 3 wsms, I would choose the 7wsm with a high bc bullet. If you can shoot it really well you should be able to hunt long range. [/QUOTE]
