Could it have been a Standard SS barrel from say the model 12 target series, cut down to 20", with flutes cut down the barrel? Kinda sounds like custom work to me imo.
I thought of that, but if were a standard fluted barrel that was cut down, it would have definately been cut into the fluted portion of the barrel. This one had fluting stopping about 3-4 inches from the muzzle, just like a factory 26" one does. I also thought it could be an aftermarket barrel, but if I remember correctly the seller specifically stated that it was a factory Savage barrel.
