[QUOTE="Hard Cast, post: 1577005, member: 69073"] When you say "They," I assume you are referring to specific barrels that are cut with Savage threads but designed to shoulder on the action? If so, does is matter what action the barrel is shouldered on? In other words, do the prefits that are designed to be shouldered need to be action specific because of the reaming that was done by the barrel manufacturer? If that is the case, I am not sure why one would choose this option? Just a personal thing but I would not trust those tolerances. I really like the Savage barrel nut [I]idea[/I] (no experience) since a person (non-smith) can fine tune his barrel to action perfectly (and easily) and the method used to attach the barrel (nut vs shouldered) has no influence on accuracy. The way I understand this is that the three things that influence accuracy are 1. Correct head spacing, 2. Quality of barrel, and 3. Action threads being trued (concentric) with the action. If those three things are perfect, the bullet has no idea if the shank end of the barrel is toughing the action since the case shoulder would be exactly the same distance and angle to the chamber no matter which method was used. Again, this is all new to me. I am just trying to work this through my little brain since I am preparing to do a rifle build myself – and I would like to do it without a smith. I am open to pointing out any flaws in my thinking. [/QUOTE]
