[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2981039, member: 36999"] I did exactly what you are describing and no it did not shoot as well. I had a 6.5 Creedmoor proof barrel on my ARC Nucleus and it shot a consistent 1/2 MOA. I was changing things up and a buddy was looking to improve his savage so I sold him the barrel as it only had a couple hundred rounds on it. That same barrel would barely hold MOA using the same ammo and headspaced on the same gauges on the savage action. Between the accuracy and the feeding issues he ended up turning it into a muzzleloader selling the barrel to another buddy who put it on a different Nucleus and it went right back to being a 1/2 MOA shooter. You can get prefit barrels for savages that you can buy off the shelf and install yourself, that’s what I do with all of my custom rifles. [/QUOTE]
