I am going to sound a bit preachy here for a sec, so bear with me...
If this conversion you seem to be set on goes wrong, you are in a world of hurt. Just youtube muzzleloader explosions or failures before you get to excited about converting a muzzleloader to shoot smokeless. I know the Savage is expensive but twenty minutes of watching guys have guns explode might change your mind. Get the right tool for the job from the start and don't try to patch something together that could blow up right next to your face with your hands wrapped around it.
That is my $.02.
