I have a Stevens 200 in 300 win mag and I just bought a McGowen pre fit heavy barrel in 300 win mag too, I have a EGW Remington recoil lug without the alignment pin (part #38010) and I would like to now if it will fit on the Stevens without any troubles, the barrel shank size of the Remington and savage are the same?

Shouldn't be a problem. I run the same Holland recoil lugs on mine (Savage & Remington) without any problem.
I just read ... Without alignment pin. It will work but I'd imagine it may be a pain to square up. I've never run one on a Savage without a pin / dowel.

You can get a action wrench from Brownell's that helps in the alignment of the recoil lug on Rem. and Savage actions. We use the Holland lugs a lot as well. We had to take the one end of the action wrench with the cut out for the lug and machined it so it would work with the Holland lug etc...
Some of the newer Savage actions have a 1.125" thread. If you have a newer target action you will have to open up the hole on some of the lugs to use them.
I prefer to pin my lugs to the action and be done with it though.

Thanks guys for your replies. I just ordered a Savage recoil lug, much easier with a "real" one.
