Do all LH Savage rimfire bolt-action has press-fit barrels?

[GeorgeS]

Or do some of them use screwed-in barrels?

I want a threaded rimfire to use suppressed but I want one with a screwed-in barrel to give me the best chance at an accurate gun.

I honestly can't remember if the Mark I/II/93R barrels are just pinned or if they're threaded and pinned. Personally, I would wait for the new LH B-series to hit the market in a few months. They have a screwed in barrel, better magazines and improved extraction.

Let's hope those aren't "vaporware".

[J.Baker]

Not vaporware, they're "officially" coming out this year. Synthetic stock and matte blue only. Here's the SKU numbers...

#70840 = LH .17 HMR
#70540 = LH 22 WMR
#70240 = LH 22LR

Nice. I looked around and they are not yet available; perhaps they'll be released after SHOT.

[J.Baker]

Most likely will be late spring or early summer before they're available.

Mine is just pinned. I took it out with a hammer and dowel rod after removing the pin so I wouldn't say it's a press fit more of a snug fit.

[GeorgeS]

Did you replace the barrel with some other brand?

[boostless]

No, I took it off to have it threaded and re-installed
