338 lapua Build advice sav 110/stevens 200

The 110BA is large shank and is said to have a different heat treat than the others.

I wouldn't do it, but others have with varying results.

YMMV

Just did some more research. According to the authority on savage rifles (Fred at SSS), any rifle with a serial number beginning with G is most likely a large shank.
Any info or resource regarding the different heat treatment of the receiver? Or is that internet truth?

The different heat treat rumor also came from Fred.

Geargrinder you've been a nay sayer for 8-9 years and basically run off old NFG, If that's the only kind of response this place gives out "don't do it because I said" I'm outta here your kingdom is safe





PEACE

Perhaps you should read it again.

I never said that is shouldn't be done because I said so.

I gave several reasons why it shouldn't be done.

I also noted that others have done it and have not had any problems.

I also stated my opinion that some of the pitfalls could me mitigated by using a shouldered barrel.

You asked what we decided, I told you what I decided.

Again, it's my opinion. You're free to have your own. It's not my kingdom, not even my monkeys, nor my zoo.
