Is the bolt face compatible? I though it was different but found online where people are saying it isn't???
I am thinking about buying the stuff to rebarrel savages. I hate not being in control of my own destiny so to speak. I would really like to have a swift I can shoot often and run hard if I so choose without worrying about burning it out. I feel bad doing this to my 1993 700 VS. that I recently picked up nib. I already feel bad about the 200 rounds I have blasted through it without having any better load than I started with and I am tired of fighting copper. I am not sure about the twist yet. I wont be shooting any farther than 50's will handle but the rifles main purpose will be to make coyotes dead with zero concern for fur and imo a case of that volume needs some lead in front of it to transfer energy. Im thinking a 24" fluted medium contour in chromoly. Might be giving up a bit with the shorter tube but it will be a hunting rifle and I think the last two inches like to find the snow and mud easier. You guys have any input on where I might be going wrong or any recommendation on tools or barrel manufacturer. THANKS!
The other option would be going 6mm Rem.
