[QUOTE="Hooyah292, post: 640493, member: 46515"] I would like to convert a Stevens 200 to 7.62x54. I know there's problems like rimmed base for magazine feed, etc. If you gentlemen were going to re-barrel a savage what would you do? From my understanding about the savage weapon system is that I would need A new stainless barrel(for corrosive ammo) A new Bolt head The chamber throat of the action has to be reamed or bored on lathe to 7.62x54 is there anything else that I am missing? I would really like to build this platform for all that surplus ammo that is out there. I know I can reload, but I really want this chambering. I would like to build a rifle that is capable of being more accurate than the mosin, but while still using the crappy ammo. I am in no regards expecting anything less than battle rifle MOA. Hopefully more though. I have seen some mosins with heavy machine gun barrels and the groupings are excellent. A modern rifle should destroy that mosin accuracy standard. Thank you all for your time, H.292 [/QUOTE]
