[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2201581, member: 115819"] I said all that about projectiles then went to search... lots has changed since February. tons more 30 cal than 7mm now, of course the makers focused on that diameter. How old is the rifle? I haven't seen any of the newer savages in person but I bet there's not too much to dremel away to fit a newer barrel. It doesn't take much of a diameter increase to gain weight, reducing recoil by a huge amount. I'm with you, I'd rather be able to practice a little more comfortably for six months than shave all possible weight. A pundof additional gun equals about 4 pounds less recoil in warm WM loads. That's not nothing. If you got an aftermarket barrel you can opt for muzzle threads. I'm not a fan of brakes but sometimes they are called for. (Threads are included on the crown ridge price but their profile list goes straight from medium sporter to Sendero which is a solid jump in weight but can definitely still be shot offhand and carried.) Also, at the risk of sounding like a jerk I just want to make sure we're talking about accustock with the aluminum bedding and not accuFIT, which has the adjustable combs. If it's the aluminum bedding then you're well served by getting the barrel you want and making it fit in my opinion. If you went from light sport to Sendero you're looking at removing about a tenth of an inch give or take from the perimeter of the barrel channel, not even the whole length. [/QUOTE]
