[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 934712, member: 35183"] Gohring, the point I was trying to make is that with a Savage I don't need a smith for anything at all. Most of the smiths I have spoken to are working out of a shop that is an addition to their garage (working from home). Most of their machinery was paid off years ago and their overheads are extremely low. I highly doubt they would set up a blank for chambering the way hired gun would. Consequently, there is a high probability that any of the local smiths would turn my expensive blank into something equivalent to a factory barrel anyhow, with an eccentric chamber that is possibly oversized too.... I am currently rebuilding a Sheldon 15x60 lathe and when I am done I will start practicing chambering on some of the "junk" sporter factory barrels I have lying around before I try anything with a good blank. Given the location I am moving to in a couple of years, it would be a long way to any smith at all, so I plan to be self sufficient. [/QUOTE]
