[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1260364, member: 77514"] I will second ohiohunter's suggestion. I just built a new rig with a CBI prefit (6.5x47 Lapua) and I could not be more pleased. I was at the range working on load development one day. There was a guy that had a custom rig that he had a couple of hundred rounds through. He was disappointed because the company guaranteed 3/8" with factory ammo (6.5 Creedmoor) and he was not getting that level of precision even with handloads. I was shooting a rig that cost much less and getting the precision he was looking for and I was still in load development. You won't be disappointed with a CBI barrel. I would get the upgraded recoil lug and barrel nut as well. I have not had to find out for myself, but it seems CBI has good after-purchase customer service. I was on a forum where a guy who had purchased a CBI barrel was not satisfied with the barrel. Someone from CBI responded to his post and invited him to return the barrel for replacement so they could determine if something was out of spec on his barrel. They seem to care about the product and the reputation of the company. I am happy with the CBI. Bottom line is any barrel from a reputable maker should shoot well (I was initially torn between the CBI and the Shilen), and there are many good barrel makers. If you take your time with the build, make sure everything fits correctly and is properly torqued you can take that Savage action and make a rifle you will be very pleased with. FWIW [/QUOTE]
