I have a Savage 110 in .270 that I would like to get a different barrel for. I was thinking along the line of a Shilen pre-fab'd "drop in" barrel. The question is, with the action/bolt I have, can I do a .243? Will the length of the action that I have, cause a problem because the .243 is a short action? What about the bolt face/head? I don't know much about the .243, but its a caliber that I don't have, and basically I just want one
I think it would be cool to have a rifle that I can swap barrels in and out of when I feel like shooshting a different caliber (I would have a g-smith do it)
Also, the Shilen site says there are 2 different shank lengths on Savage barrels. What is that, and how do I figure out which one I have?

Thanks in advance for the help
