SAVAGE SWITCH BARREL QUESTION

[Makatak]

My envy matches the color of your gunstock.

That is a very nice setup. Let me know all the load and target details. I haven't had a 264 WinMag yet. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Lee,

Does Pacnor supply the ss nut or did you pick that up somewhere else? Is it threaded and chambered, it's hard to tell? How much did they charge?

I have a Striker I'd like to put a Loooong barrel on and it would be nice to get it all done from them, threaded and chambered so I can just stick it on when it shows up.

Thank you Makatak. I've been wanting a setup like this for a few seasons now. I won't be able to do any shooting for a little while yet, though. I'm waiting on a magnum size bolt head from Sharp Shooter Supply as well as a heavy (18 lbs.) long range stock from same. You can bet I'll be posting my results when I get to burn some powder.

Brent,
The nut is from the action, but they are also available from Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooter Supply (http://www.varminthunters.com/sshooter/). The barrel is pre-threaded and pre-chambered. Including the muzzle brake it cost just over $400. It was delivered five weeks from order date.
That's really all you have to do, get the barrel, spin the nut on, mount the barrel, headspace with a piece of resized brass, and tighten. Savage is a po man's switch barrel.

Cool! It was chambered, threaded and had a brake installed for just over 400!! Damn that's pretty fair I'd say!

Sounds like they'll get to do one for me soon! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Your bbl nut looked stainless and your action CM, that's why I figured they might have supplied the SS nut too.

Let us know how it shoots.

The action was purchased several years ago, before the stainless actions were out. It's from a BVSS-S....CM action, SS barrel and nut.

Hi,
Damn nice shooter. (GREAT pics)
The only thing I probabily would change is the scope base. I would use one of the "Ken Farrell" one piece weaver bases, from Graf & sons, and with the 20* taper. You can see these at kenfarrell.com

Hope this helps.

The Burris inserts allow for up to 40 MOA adjustment by themselves. I figure that should be enough. I don't like the way the Burris Zee rings (for Weaver base) are attatched to the base either. I know I want to use the Signature rings, so I'm left with Dual Dovetail or Std. Which rings do you use with the Farrell base (I was considering using the Farrell base).
