[QUOTE="dwm, post: 1250655, member: 1136"] FYI, changing a Savage bolt head is the same as changing an AR-15 bolt head. Only takes a few minutes. Changing from 270 to 7mag mag box is easy too. Parts are readily available. So a 6.5SAUM/WSM or 264 Win Mag is very easy to get to from a 270Win in a Savage action. If it were to be a dedicated hunting rifle a 6.5 Win Mag sounds fun. That being said 6.5x284 or 6.5-06AI would meet your requirements just fine with no changes to the action. 260AI is a nice option also can get to around 2950fps in a long action... [/QUOTE]
