I don't know what they would change. I haven't been to Pac Nor's site to check on this. I ran across this at another forum, don't remember which one or where. Don't even know for sure if it is true, but I knew it would rattle a few cages.

I know most people don't like the looks of the barrel nut, and to tell you the truth, I don't care much for it either. You can of course rebarrel a Savage action just like any other and leave the nut off. The nut is there only to make the original setting of the headspace a few minute job. It really is a sweet piece of engineering. And on top of all that, you can change out the bolt head too. A new bolt head is about $50 or less. Course the standard 06 bolt head fits most, but you could do a 223 bolt head. The new Mossberg centerfire rifle has some kind of lock nut on the barrel but is doesn't have the cuts in it for the spanner wrench, it is smooth. Maybe there is one hole in the underside for some kind of spanner to fit into. It really does present some great ideas on having one very good stock, say a McMillian or whatever, a good single shot,or repeater, action bedded real good and just change out the barrel. It really is about a 20 minute job. You can even set it up for your particular sized case. Also you could have a nice after market trigger if that was what you wanted. Even just one scope as it sets on the receiver. Instead of several mid priced scopes you could get that high priced Yourapeein scope. One stock, one action, one scope, dozens of barrels. Now chamber that in your Reemmmmein...Remmm...what ever and see how it does. :wink:

Happy New Year All..... and may your next rifle be a .......What is it we say......... S A V A G E !!!!. Now see that wasn't so hard was it. :-D :-D :-D :-D HeHeHe.
