Anyone got any advice for me on this idea. I'd like to build one with an adams and bennett from midway. Can i do it on a short action savage? I dont have a clue what the throat depth will be ob the A&B barrel and i dont have a clue on the magazine length of the savage short action. I know i can get a different bolt head but what about a follower that will work? And last but not least if i use a 14 classic with the floor plate will there be problem getting a follower that will work for it?
Any help will be apreciated.

The best bet may be to use a Savage WSM action.......that way you will have the proper bolt face and length of magazine box......and the follower and width of magazine *should* be close to right.

the barrel shank dia on the wsm actions is larger. adams and bennett doesnt make them in that size

Sharp Shooter Supply can supply a bolt face and other parts you might need.
