Gunsmithing Savage 111 re-barrel

[sharp1]

I have a Savage model 111 in .30-06 and I would like to re-barrel it .300 win mag. Can i buy a barrel for a model 110 and will I also have to buy a new bolt?
Thanks for any advice. I am new to this!

New barrel and new complete bolt head. Plus wrench for barrel nut, a vise for the barrel, and headspace gauge for the .300.

It is pretty easy. The most difficult part with be finding the magnum bolt head!

That is all that is needed

Thanks for the information! I appreciate it..My understanding is that the Savage 111 and the 110 are pretty much the same...will the bolt head and barrel from a 110 work on the 111?

As long as it is a long action and was of the similar year model. If you go way back you had a contol round feed bolt head (very uncomon lately) Short actions do not work on a long action. 110/111/112/114/116...it all works. There were some magazine changes in the mid 2000's but as far as bolts your good.

Control round feed bolt heads for a long action are pretty rare. They were only offered with the RUM's. If you find a bolt head that was for a 300win or 7RM, that would be 99% the correct one.

Thanks geargrinder. You are precisely correct.

Thanks everyone for all your input...Does anyone know where I might find a .300 win mag barrel these days? Seems like a lot of places are out of stock these days...go figure..
