[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 682054, member: 29890"] There are all kinds of metals and grades that barrels are made of but the most commen are 416r ss and 4140 chromoly, suposedly remington uses 4140, I truely do not know because if I get a remington that shoots under .5" I leave it alone until it needs attention, but most of the time they won't consistently do it, so the barrel gets scrapped and replaced by a custom. The 1.25-1.3" that you speak of is just the shoulder where it butts up against the recoil lug, behind that the barrel theards are 1.0625"x 16 threads per inch, this is why everyone is telling you a savage is fine, it is 1.060"x 20 threads per inch, also the savages usually have .010-.015" more bolt lug contact. Your best bet would have been to get a barrel blank and have a gunsmith shoulder it on a savage action, then it would be the same as the SPS you ordered with the benefits of an accutrigger and floating bolthead, not to mention the new SPS actions feel like they are running on 80 grit sandpaper when cycling the bolt. Parts wise though remington definently has the advantage. [/QUOTE]
