[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 1186762, member: 82312"] The Pacnor barrels are similar to the drop-in pre-fit Savage barrels and can be had in a pile of barrel weights, calibers and lengths. I have been toying with the idea of buying a Rem 783 in 30/06 and restocking it in a Boyds stock as well as ordering a 358 Winchester barrel for it along with Go and Nogo guages so if I am shooting short range on elk in thick bush the 250 grain 358 win bullet will help ensure an animal cannot get lost on a snap shot. Will also consider the bottom metal as well as higher quality magazines. Combined with a rail and decent rings to put a Nightforce 2.5-10x42 Compact scope and I am willing to bet it will be a good rifle as some Savages have been. If others are interested I also asked at the beginning of this thread if anyone knew the maximum length limits for loads with long bullets like the Hornady ELD-X or the Bergers seated out to how far and still fit the magazine?
