[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1939532, member: 113501"] Yes, I'm a fan of the Savage type barrel nut and also ARCs Barloc system (I have two currently) but I decided to go for a shouldered prefit on this one since it's a really long and heavy barrel (8.4 lbs) and potentially pushing the SAAMI spec on pressure. My first real "magnum" too. I guess LW liked it because now they list American Rifle Company in their menu of barrel threads for their custom barrels. It wasn't there when I ordered and I had to send them the tenon blueprint. So far the barrel looks nice on the outside and seems to headspace properly on the brass if the case shoulder is where it should be. I'm going to be doing a lot more measuring, inspection and test firing before I fully develop an opinion on the barrel but so far it is looking nice. [/QUOTE]
