[QUOTE="codym, post: 1615018, member: 105909"] I just put a deposit down on a LA SR3 with a mag bolt face. I'm looking to have a lightish switchbarrel hunting rifle. I want to run a 300 win mag and a 7wsm or 6.5 SUAM/PRC or whatever but for sure the 300 win mag will be the first barrel. I want to use proof carbon barrels to keep the weight down. Here's my dilema, I can use a proof savage prefit. Pro's- It will come chambered and muzzle threaded, much shorter wait time, no shipping it off. Con's- I will be stuck with a SAMMI speck chamber and I want to shoot 215 bergers in this barrel, I have to spend the extra money for wrenches and go gauages. Second option is go with a proof blank and have someone do a shouldered prefit. Pro's- the blank is a bit cheaper, I get it chambered for the 215 berger, looks better than the nut. Con's- I have to wait to get the blank then ship it to a smith another wait for the work, shipping costs and work are going to be more expensive than the barrel nut/wrenches/go gauges. I'm leaning towards the savage barrel nut route, what do you all think? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
