[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 719434, member: 35183"] I have read of one guy who re-barreled his 212 so that he could put a smooth bore on it and have the front machined to accept chokes. It seemed to work out good for him, but on the other hand, it seems that there are plenty of smooth bores already out there. I also has the surface finish issue on my stainless steel 220. I think this problem is much worse on the stainless guns than the blued ones. A blue bolt is slick as butter compared to the gritty stainless steel one. For whatever reason, the regular savage bolt guns with stainless actions don't have this issue, like my model 12. So I don't know what they are doing differently. [/QUOTE]
