What all is involved in the rechamber? I assume you'll replace the bolt head? What about the magazine?

Replace the bolt head, and I'm getting the chamber reamed to the wsm, magazine should be fine. That should be it, I will probly be one of few that has a long action 300wsm savage 110.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Hmmm, so no work to the feed rails to get those fat cases to feed?

With long action, you should be able to stick those long pills way out there assuming it's not short throated. You already know you have a good tube so she ought to shoot.

What would the advantage of a long action 300WSM vs 300 Win Mag be? I've always understood it is best to scale caliber to action length. seating depth will be longer with less pressure, more powder, etc
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

You really don't know much about customizing guns do you, as 87db said above, you can seat heavy long bullets out to touch the lands. Less case to bullet contact equals less pressure, more powder, more velocity and better accuracy.

Less case to bullet contact equals less pressure, more powder, more velocity and better accuracy. This plus with a savage you can technically make a switch barrel rifle relatively cheap and not be constrained to action length. Plus there is not really that much difference in a short action vs a long action in terms of weight or length. ... that is unless you are RH Clark

Three 3 shot groups I shot today at 100. Load was 168 Amax over 46gr Varget, not to shabby for damn ole savage. Two lower groups are 150 nosler ballistic tips that I'll use for hunting. And here two 3 shot groups with 150 nosler ballistic tips. As you can see above I was 1/4" left, made a 1 click adjustment and should be good on the ballistic tips.

No need to switch to the Ballistic Tips for hunting. Just use the AMAX bullets and you will not be disappointed. Better than BT's, especially at longer range.

Yea,I like light rifles when walking around and for most general hunting. On a long range rifle like this though weight just isn't a concern at all,mostly cause I ain't going to be toting that SOB up and down the hills and hollers in Bankhead. For all you guys who can drive your wheelers to your stand and think you are deer snipers,more power to ya!

I consider deer sniping to be anything greater than 300 yards.
