I am getting my 11VT chopped to 18" and I can't wait to get it back from the gunsmith. Do any of you have a savage with 18" or shorter barrel you'd like to share pictures of? I'll follow up with pics of mine when I get it back.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Yeah I'm getting mine cut so the overall length with a can will be manageable but I think without the can it will make a handy hunting rig too. I like your paint job!

Thanks Chris! definitly post some pics when you get them! IT blows me away how accurate short stubby barrels can be, make up for the velocity loss!

Yeah, I'm hoping I see some accuracy increase; I just hope the gunsmith does a good job recrowning. My 175smk loads should stay supersonic past 1000yrds so I'm okay with the velocity loss.

Savage Model 10 FP 308

Started life as 20". Shortened to 16" threaded 5/8x24. Currently has Surefire brake on it. One of the most accurate rifles I have.

Here's mine. 358 Winchester, 20" Shaw magnum profile. Handy and accurate.

This is my 250-3000 savage on a stevens LA in a Stocky's laminate thumb hole. 18 inches shoots like a laser.

Your image didn't come through - I think because it was linked from another forum where you have to be a member to view. Sounds awesome, enjoyed the haiku haha

I also have a Weaver Tactical Grand Slam 3-9x40 in 1" rings (and the stock mag) that I plan to use for hunting. This SWFA 16x is for shooting long range steel.

So far I like how it handles after getting it cut down to 18"... I think I'll like it even more once I get the shorter lighter scope mounted for hunting. I can't wait until I can try the can on her. Also, I have an HS precision pro-varminter stock on order.

Thanks Clint, I noticed yours looks very similar. How do you like the 16" 308? What's the farthest you shoot with it?

I love this one. This was one of my first Savage rifles. After I had it shortened and threaded I shot it all the time. It had the factory plastic stock and I'd run any ammo I could get my hands on. Never any problems and always super accurate. The farthest target shooting was to 250ish. I really don't shoot this one anymore. I think I might have to start now!!

I've always enjoyed a short compact heavy barreled rifle.
