Welcome aboard OM!
I don't have a 450b bolt action. I already have two semi-autos in that caliber. I do have Two Savage Model 12's that share multiple caliber barrels. IMHO, hurt once, enjoy a lifetime and get a Model 12 in .308. There are many calibers that use that bolt face. Assuming you have a wrench, changing a barrel (caliber) takes maybe 40 minutes, including removing the action from the stock and putting it back. A go/no-go set is all you need and many calibers share the same set. The Model 12's have about the highest resale value also.
