[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 817033, member: 24284"] I think if you buy a Benchmark blank and have them fit it to your action they will get it treated for you. Most barrel makers don't want you messin' with their 'work', 'cept to thread, chamber & crown. Barrels that have enough rounds down them, that show some cracking, are not good candidates for treating. I have set several back, that showed minor cracking or rounded/eroded edges, a turn or two and re-cut the chamber to head space, then fired a couple of rounds just for the heck of it and to measure brass (because I'd had a reamer in there, again). I know very little about Savages and don't want to know anymore than I know now. [/QUOTE]
