[QUOTE="farout, post: 753738, member: 39061"] I'll tackle the large shank/small shank question for you. In the photo below, (from [url=http://www.sharpshootersupply.com]Sharp Shooter Supply - The Savage Specialists[/url] a great site for any Savage owner) the shank on the right is the large shank. You can see that there is about a 1/8" shoulder that rises from the barrel just before the threads start. On the left is the small shank. Usually the large shank is on barrels chambered for WSM cartridges. I have a Model 12 VLP in 300 WSM and it has the large shank. I have a Model 116 in 25-06 and it has the small shank. There are lots of knowledgeable Savage folks on here. Especially some knowledgeable in the Model 111 LRH in 6.5-284. I'm sure the will chime in at some point. [/QUOTE]
