Savage 11/111 fxp3 300 to 30-06 barrel change

[cec39466]

I have a savage 11/111 fxp3 in 300wm long action and want to change the barrel to 30-06 off of E-Bay that came off a custom build. What all has to be done to convert to 30-06? Can someone help me please?

Well for starters you will have to change the bolt head to a 30-06 size.

And possibly the mag box & follower, but I'm not sure about that without looking up the part numbers between standard and belted mag calibers.
