[QUOTE="sinarms, post: 519851, member: 27649"] I highly recommend prefit barrels for Savage rifles. Yes I have seen some bad ones, yes I have reworked bad ones. Have they come from the company mentioned in the original post? Yes they have. Is that saying all prefits are bad? no, actually you have a good chance of getting a good prefit from most company's. I am not a prefit barrel "salesman" though. Every barrel I make I cut myself, inspect myself, and ship myself. Anyone can take orders and "sell" you a barrel, hell they will even have it drop shipped to you. Do they know how to properly cut a chamber? Dial in a barrel to .0002" before even touching it a tool? I would say probably not. Now the question was asked if there are a guarantee of accuracy for prefits. I myself will guarantee 1/2" 5 shot group @ 100yrds with either a Brux or a Shilen barrel cut by me. Now you must be able capable of shooting those groups and so must the rest of your equipment. There are a lot of custom builders out there that aren't on this board that are lucky to get a rifle to shoot under 1" groups, but they again there are ones that will amaze you how well they shoot. Now prefit Remington barrels are a whole different story, I have yet to see one that shot acceptable. [/QUOTE]
