[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 577860, member: 12216"] I believe you said this was a new Savage. Savage has been using the small pin in all models since around 2001. Or at least that's what the man himself sharpshooter says. That same assembly is used in the 30.06, 7RM, and 300WM. You'll have the small pin. Now if I'm wrong and you bought an older used gun you might need the pin. However, if it is the newer center feed gun you are pretty much set. Get a magnum head (yours should have a little spring loaded plunger sticking out of the bolt face) push feed, magnum mag box, and barrel. If you need a second opinion I'd be happy to take a look. I don't know everything but I'm sure we can figure it out. I've been through a few of these. I've also got all the tools you'd need to swap out so when you are ready if you don't want to buy the wrench and everything we can work something out. Won't take long and I can step you through it all. Also a word of caution. If you go taking the bolt apart please do it inside a plastic bag or something. The last thing you want is bolt parts and springs flying around the house. [/QUOTE]
