Savage Grendel Options

[VASCAR2]

Very nice, I bet that will deliver for some long range work.

Mmmmm. I have a Savage Model 16 Light Weight Hunter that uses the same mag as the Axis in 7mm-08. (It uses the Savage 55232 bottom release latch magazine/PN: 107989).
It has the bottom bolt release in front of the upgraded metal trigger shroud. it's my favorite deer rifle. Lightweight! Stainless/synthetic weather resistant and accurate as hell shooting three shot groups and one shot kills. The magazine also fits the Model 11, 10 and Model 16 Trophy Hunter models.
Savage rifles using the 10/110 bolt actions are all over the place in regard to stock options, hardware changes and model designations. Enough to cause severe headaches trying to figure all the nuances out! :confused:

Very nice! A keeper.

I thought savage made some model 10's in 7.62x39 with detach magazines?

Wouldn't that be the way to go with a barrel and bolt head swap?

The 7.62x39 magazines work for Grendels in everything else.

I googled quick they have 10 and axis in scout models with detach mags in 7.62x39...just need to order those magazines no?

Dumb question. Is there any reason a Savage style barrel won't work on a CZ527?

[JASmith]

The Savage uses a barrel nut to hold rhe barrel in place.

The CZ is a classic screw in barrel.

CZ may also have a different/metric barrel threading into the action...
there might be somebody who makes a CZ-age style barrel, like they do for Remmy 700 actions, (Remage) and howa (Howage).

1 or 2 guys on here got the savage in Grendel to work, I had a criterion barrel for my model 10 but even with the 762-39 savage mags couldn't get it to feed reliably... guy I sold it to however was able to do so if I recall.
Would definitely make a great shooter.

I guess I should have said; Can a 527 be converted to the Savage head spacing system?

Aren't the 65G & x39 using the same bolt face?

[JASmith]

Aren't the 65G & x39 using the same bolt face?

Yup, and the barrel nut means that one can get the right headspace independent of how deep the bolt face is
