[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 577666, member: 29890"] Well I can't help you there, but my suggestion is to take the firing pin assembly out of the bolt and measure the shank the small one is like .115" with a longer tip the large one is like .160" with a short tip, after you figure out which one you have call midway or sss and get a controlled round feed bolt head for that pin, or order a new pin assembly and bolt head. Then use a center feed mag and get a heavy savage varmint/sendero contour barrel in 300wsm with a custom throat length, most savage prefit sellers have 2-4 reamers in the same caliber with slightly different specs on them mostly just the freebore/throat length but some modify lead angle, tight neck etc. Just tell them what bullets you plan to shoot and they will know how it needs to be chambered. After you do this it should operate as smoothly as buying a new savage 300wsm and putting factory ammo through it. It is pretty easy but you are right you need to be familiar with all of the models so you know what will and what won't work. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
