[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 1580335, member: 9964"] There are several rifle makers here in the USA who have begun making barrels less expensive by cutting out several of the processes done in the past and currently still being done by the premium barrel makers. Since yours is shooting at expectations I would be very pleased. Watch in the future for your less expensive factory barrels to become less accurate. Have a friend who is custom barrel maker. He was contacted by a rifle manufacture and asked to give a quote for the companies OEM spec barrel. The spec did not call for 416R steel, did not spec stress relieving before drilling. The barrels were to be drilled to "bore" diameter, not under sized and reamed to bore diameter. No stress relieving after drilling. No pre lapping. Buttoning with no post lapping. No stress relieving before or after contouring. Finished barrels were not to exceed $39.00. The rifle manufacture seeking this quote advertises 1. " moa accuracy in all of their rifles. This manufacture was not Savage. I have examined several thousand Savages over the years. They may have some tool Mark's but by in large they shoot well. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
