[QUOTE="Carbonman, post: 103684, member: 1016"] The Savage rifles that are chambered for WSM cartridges have a 1.125"x20 tpi shank to safely accommodate the fatter cartridge. Your 308 is a 1.055"x20 tpi shank and is not recommended for the WSM or Ultramag series. The exception is if you have it breeched up like a Remington 700 without the headspace nut. It may also be adequate if you go with a chrome-moly barrel. I know folks do the WSM conversion on the 1.055 shank, it just doesn't have enough meat left to be entirely safe. [/QUOTE]
