What's my barrel shank size?

[Rattleakak]

I have a 111 in 7mm Rem mag I want to get a heavy barrel for, what shank size do I have? Still learning the Savage game, having a great time and really appreciate all the help

im sure it is a small shank. one way to tell is measure the thickness of the barrel nut from recoil lug to front of nut. if it measures 5/8 its a large shank.7/8 its a small.

Look under Tech Updates and it will give you the answer inc pictures.

Tech Updates is the last item on the left side menu-site map.

Do you have a step down on the barrel right in front of the barrel nut? Then it's a large shank. No step down means its a small shank. I think they only put large shank on WSM and RUM actions.

"I think they only put large shank on WSM and RUM actions."

Also on target and 338 Lapua actions.

99% chance it's a small shank but you'll need to look at the pictures on the link that Dennis gave you and compare them to yours to be completely sure. Or measure the nut as others have said.

Yeah but he said a 111 in the original post so I was addressing what they put on the 111.

Yeah the 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 110, 111, 112, 114, and 116 that came with WSM or RUM are almost all large shank.
