[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 24815, member: 8947"] Any quality gunsmith will be able to chamber and install a barrel on the Savage for you. They would have all the necessary guages so you just need to provide the action and money. You can then switch barrels later. Just have the gunsmith index the barrel to the action - get rid of the barrel nut. If you want to do the install at home, you may want to contact ER Shaw or Montana Rifleman and see if they will send you a chambered barrel. Chances are it will be short chambered and need final reaming. Midway is unique in offering prechambered barrels. For your first project, I would stick with the standard cartridges available from Midway. Dies and guages are available and there is lots of load data. Custom dies can cost a bunch. Once you get that sorted out, you can move to any combo you want. Good luck... Jerry [/QUOTE]
