Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing SAVAGE SWITCH BARREL QUESTION???????

Hi Vic, and other members posting:

Thanks for the great info.....Let me see if I get this....... I can take my .308 Savage and make it a 300 WSM, or a 30-06 and make it a .300 RUM? All I would need is the barrel, bolt face, and a gauge to head-space it? I guess buying the proper gauge would be a must if the gun is going to be a switch barrel, (please forgive the lack of knowledge here). Do you have an idea of what the approximate cost would be to get the setup for a 300 WSM? I would use the 308. Is this something that could be done as a father son project without the need for a gunsmith, once all parts are in hand? Would a barrel maker like Pac-nor or Lilja chamber the barrel for me? I would be perfectly happy with a single shot rifle......

Thanks for all your help
