I'm kicking around the idea of building a long range target rifle out of my old (pre-Accu-Trigger, blind staggered magazine) Savage 110 .300 Win Mag.
As much as I love the current chambering, the 6.5 Creedmoor would be better suited to higher volume long range target shooting- I don't need to burn all that powder just to ring steel at 1,000 yards. I'm thinking heavy barrel, McMillan stock, maybe detachable AI mag setup, etc.
Obviously, I'll need a barrel (and the appropriate swap tools) and different bolt head. What else? A bolt stop to limit travel for use with the shorter cartridge perhaps?
Thanks in advance.
