Rock Creek Pre-fits

[geargrinder]

My guess is that when it comes from SSS it will be prefit. I haven't checked but......


Any smith can turn any barrel blank into a Savage prefit. What we are talking about is directly from the barrel manufacturers.

I understand that very well. I am saying that it will come to (you) the end user all ready to go (pre-fit), not having to find the smith after you receive the barrel. Isn't that what you and I as consumers are concerned with?
Back to the original post. Rock Creek and Pre-fits.

I think getting the barrels from the manuf is cheaper. A savage prefit from Shilen is 370. A preturned blank from Shilen is 280 and I have to ship it to a smith, most smith charge about 200 to finish the barrel and shipping back, which is roughly 480 - 500 I would think rock barrels offering the prefit direct to someone like Northland would be ideal and it would save a bunch of money for me and it would save rock barrels from the additional work load.

Here is the email that I got from rock creek barrels today.

Nathan,
Yes we are going to offer Savage prefits in both cut rifled and button
barrels. $450 for cut rifled and $325 for button barrels. Probably going
to just offer the two target contours to start with both the large and
small shank versions.
These are the calibers we are considering for now.

And another one I got today

Question was about reamers not on the list and when they will be up for order.

Nathan,
It would depend if I have the reamer around the shop, otherwise we would
have to order one, the customer pays half the price of the reamer and we
keep the reamer.
We will be taking orders as soon as I get all the reamers in that we
ordered. Probably gonna be June sometime.

Benchmark only makes buttoned rifled barrels. If brux makes a prefit cut rifle from the factory, they are the only one doing it. Sure seems allot of confusion on who makes cut rifled barrels and who makes prefits.


Yea for some reason I was thinking benchmarks were cut. Excuse me.

[jgerrington]

This is great news. Hopefully they will have more calibers and contours later this year.

[GaCop]

Maybe GaCop will see this, almost positive he has one.
You could always P.M. him to find out.
If you want access to all the info on this site join for the $12yr. best money you will spend and the $12 keeps all the spammers away.


Nope, don't have one :)

Krieger does not do pre fits

[sinman]

Rock Creek prefits have been available for over 2yrs but not directly from them, I don't like to quote lead times on them because they are very excessive.

[Aircraftmech76]

Will they offer their button-rifled barrels with the 5R rifling profile?

[catfish]

Anyone get a rock creek prefit cut rifled barrel yet???

[calling4life]

With how busy they are... I wouldn't hold my breath

[MDM]

Any news on Rock pre-fits.?

[nsaqam]

Great, another manufacturer making truck axle barrels for the Savage!:(

Some of us would like to get a prefit that weighs well under three pounds.

[LRJammer]

Try Shilen. They have a lot of profile options.

There are a few manufacturers who make light barrels for the Savage but none of the places which stock ready to ship barrels has any in stock ever.

That means long wait times directly from the manufacturer.

I just bought a #2 LV Rock 6mm barrel off of eBay and I'll cut the chamber off, thread nutless, chamber, and recontour it myself to get .600" at 24" length.

[tomme boy]

I asked Paul again about doing the group buy on the prefits an he said no more GB's.

Any info on when the Rock Prefits will be available? Are they still going to offer them?
