Savage target action for magnum calibers?

[Surgikill]

Hey guys. I want to build a savage target action based rifle that I can exchange barrels on. My question is, can I use this action with a magnum round like a 300 rum if I change the bolt face?

I have two savage target actions, that are barreled 7mm saum with magnum bolt face .532 & they work great.

Alright thanks. I want to be able to put a 223 barrel on it or a 300 rum and just have to change the bolt out

you will be able to do the 300 SAUM/WSM but not an RUM, the savage target actions are short action only, unless you get lucky and find a used model 112 action.

Alright. Thank you for clarifying that

You can use the target action for the big magnums as a single shot. i built 2 338 edges on savage target short actions. You will have to pull the bolt to eject a live round but they eject the emptys perfectly. Remember the target actions are large shank. not sure if the barrels you have are small shank.

I don't have any barrels but plan on buying some to swap out. Thanks for the info
