[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 982557, member: 2736"] I have had problems with all pre chambered barrel no matter who did the chamber. I don't know why but they seem to do no better than the factory. And when I have tried to resolve an issue with the barrel maker, they just said it was installed incorrectly and took no responsibility. At least you are dealing directly with a smith and have some recourse if you have one installed by a smith. Some folks have probably been very happy with the pre chambered barrels, But of course I never hear from those people. As said earlier, I do lots of Savages that have problems with multiple barrels and the problems is sometimes the thread fit with the nut, recoil lug, and many other things that only a good smith will find and fix. I have a long list of problems that have come out of some reputable barrel makers, because they don't have to test the rifle so they miss a lot of things that you will/may find after it is assembled. A good gun smith can be invaluable when it comes to very accurate rifles, there are very good Gun smiths on this site and so far I have not had to fix any of there rifles. But there are lots that claim to be gunsmiths and I see there work all the time. You may luck out and get a good rifle and or a good replacement barrel for the Savage if so great. but don't be surprised if you don't. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
