Does it use the barrel nut system? I am looking for a bolt gun to do a project on, but if barrel swaps are easy on it we can discuss further.

Specifying the action is your failure. Savage makes 2 actions, short and long. Then they also have target actions. Large shank and standard shank. The last time I commented on how easy it is to change barrels on a Savage some city slicker Gunsmith in Portland felt I was taking money from his pocket.

Thank you but I have to pass, I am looking for a bolt action like a 110 or close to it, I have a few projects in mind and I can use a large or small action as long as it uses a barrel nut system.
