Hi everyone! New to the forum and have some questions. I have a Savage 340 chambered in the .225 that I will be getting soon. I have been thinking about getting a Handi Rifle in .223 and having it rechambered to a .225. Or I may just wait till income tax and get a 1885 Winchester or a Ruger No.1 both in .223 and have which ever one I get rechambered. I have talked to several gunsmiths and they have told me that I can have this done.... If I was to decide to go with a bolt gun, what would work? As far as a rechamber or even a rebarrel? I know I could pick up a model 70 in .225 but if I go the bolt route I would like to use something like a modern Remington or a Savage. Then change the stock etc... My Dad had a Model 70 in .225 at one time so I still have a lot of brass and ammo that he gave me and I picked up 100 pieces of nos brass. And the Savage 340 that I have on layaway comes with 7 boxes of factory ammo. I just don't know what caliber bolt gun to start out with if I was to try a build on a bolt gun. Would I have to have the bolt worked on, extractor etc..? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
