[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 519905, member: 12863"] I guess I have to be the luckiest guy in the world when it comes to pre everything barrels. I must have 2 dozen factory Savage barrels that were mass produced and only had to lap two of them which was done before I ever fired a round. I do not own a Savage barrel that won't shoot a half inch or less three shot group. Mcgowen: I have at least 6 of them both in pre-fit Savage and blanks that I welded lugs on for break open application. Back in the day when they first started out and all those awesome barrel makers still worked at the shop they consistantly made a super barrel. I have been buying Benchmark barrels in Washington state the past 2 years and every pre-fit Savage barrel bugholes with NO exceptions. I do not own a Benchmark barrel (nine now) that shoots over .250! I quit turning blanks and chambering some years ago thanks to Benchmark. The most I do is measure the hole through the brakes to make sure it is big enough for a particuler caliber of the barrel the brake is on. My best two shooting barrels are a Savage factory 300RUM cut back to 19" and a Benchmark 6BR 17" barrel! The 300 was cut and turned down from large to small shank and Nitrided before it was ever fired (hunter Profile). The stainless 6 Br barrel I bought barely used from a friend and it is still virtually unfired and in the white so to speak 1.60" bull). Both were pre-made without the action present. I have two Savage 338 Win Mag factory cut down barrels that are one holers and not far behind the afore mentioned barrels. I can not honestly believe that someone would imply or even say that a gunsmith is required to thread and chamber a Savage barrel without the action present or one stands a good chance of getting a bad barrel. I guess team Savage must have been lieing when the two guys were shooting factory everything when the team won the world championships HUH? When Stan Pate (captain) told me he set the factory barrel up himself and explained to me how he torqures the Barrel nut and action screws. Neal PS I personally wood contact Jim Briggs at Northland SHooters supply if he carried the caliber of Kreiger barrels that I needed. AT $250. for a top of the line pre-everything Savage barrel not many can compete with this price for a top of the line barrel. [/QUOTE]
