[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 563427, member: 9736"] I believe the actions are the same. If you are planning on adding a barrel and the other components later check into the Savage rifles. You can buy a nice Savage 116 in 300 win mag that should shoot 3/4" or less out of the box from what I have seen. When you get ready to start changing parts and pieces it will be much easier. Most of it can be done at home if you are reasonably handy. you could actually have a switch barrel rifle. I have one that has a 7mm rem mag barrel and 6.5x284 barrel. Unscrew the barrel and pull the bolt head and reinstall the other components making sure to use a headspace gauge and you are good to go. Takes less than an hour. I am planning on buying a 338 Edge barrel for it soon. Pretty cool system, shoot everything from a 223 to a 338 with the same system. One scope and one high quality stock and you are set for everything from coastal brown bears to prairie dogs. [/QUOTE]
