Straight 1.25" barrel on a Savage with a nut?

Yes, Yes you can. here is a straight 1.25" barrel on a Savage action using a barrel nut and recoil lug. The lug is bigger because of the previous use of the barrel but any thickness would work just fine.

Thanks Neal, I know there have been people in the past looking for such a thing

It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, does the barrel shank have a shoulder cut into it for the nut to sit in? Are you still headspacing it off the nut, or are you headspacing it off the shoulder? Is there a gap between the nut and shoulder when it's on and headspaced?
