[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 2434206, member: 65116"] I have several Savage actions and a number of barrels ranging from 22-250 right up to 375 RUM. Easy to change the bolt face from standard to magnum. If the action is a bit rough, polish with Scotch Brite and lube. The great features of the Savage are the ease with which you can change barrels and the bolt face. I believe the Savage bolt follower that does not rotate when the bolt is closed but blocks the slots in the action makes it safer for the shooter in the event of a case failure than in other actions. There is no clear visible path between the area of the cartridge head and the shooter as there is on the Remington 700 or any other action that uses a full length Mauser extractor. An obstructed bore or grossly overcharged (wrong powder) cartridge is less likely to spray your face with brass in a Savage. Just my opinion. Put a Hogue (heavy barrel) stock with a EBCO bottom metal (plastic, but good plastic) on your Savage action and you will be pleased by the performance and low price. They shoot just as good as my Mausingfield. A varmint weight barrel always shoots good. [/QUOTE]
