Rock Creek Pre-fits

[geargrinder]

I heard that Rock Creek is going to start offering Savage Pre-fits later this spring.

I don't know if they are going to be cut rifled, button rifled, or both.

Glad to see a premium barrel maker step into the pre-fit market.

[trailrider121]

What? Really, cant wait to see what they will offer.

Well, at least we know that they can make decent .223 barrels.

[chakup]

Was hoping he'd offer them in the GB but excited to see them coming none the less!!

[jsthntn247]

Mike Rock said he won't make a button rifled barrel, so I would assume they are going to be the only cut rilfed barrel maker offering savage pre-fits, SMART MAN.

[nuclabuyer]

I emailed him to see if the rumor is true or not. We shall see

Besides Brux and Kreiger anyway. There maybe more, but those two came to mind right away.

nuclabuyer,

Did you request an estimated cost of savage pre-fits? Curious

Mike makes the cut rifled barrels for Rock Creek.

Kim Theiler, the other owner, makes the button rifled barrels for Rock Creek.

Here is a quote from Paul of Rock Creek barrels in the Button Barrel group buy on SH.

Sorry guys no Savage prefit option on the group buy, but we will be offering some this spring sometime.

What you talking about Willis, neither one of those make savage pre-fits.

Has anyone here ordered a pre fit barrel from Kreiger? I did not know they offered them, I would like to get one of these, I always thought you had to send them your action, did not know they would just ship you a pre fit barrel, going to call and get one ordered, guessing the wait time will be long though.

[rjtfroggy]

Maybe GaCop will see this, almost positive he has one.
You could always P.M. him to find out.
If you want access to all the info on this site join for the $12yr. best money you will spend and the $12 keeps all the spammers away.

Thanks for the info, hope someone responds who has a Kreiger pre fit, very interested in getting one, I may just need to call them.

I was a member, let the subscription expire, need to renew it.

Benchmark makes cut rifled pre-fits

Krieger does not offer a pre-fit, yes they make barrels for those actions but that does not mean its a pre-fit.

[jsthntn247]

Benchmark only makes buttoned rifled barrels. If brux makes a prefit cut rifle from the factory, they are the only one doing it. Sure seems allot of confusion on who makes cut rifled barrels and who makes prefits.

[JackinSD]

VjjR,

Thanks or clearing it up and the correction.

[geargrinder]

Brux does not make a prefit. They did for a short while, but suspended to keepnup with production.

My guess is that when it comes from SSS it will be prefit. I haven't checked but......

Any smith can turn any barrel blank into a Savage prefit. What we are talking about is directly from the barrel manufacturers.

I understand that very well. I am saying that it will come to (you) the end user all ready to go (pre-fit), not having to find the smith after you receive the barrel. Isn't that what you and I as consumers are concerned with?
Back to the original post. Rock Creek and Pre-fits.

[nuclabuyer]

I think getting the barrels from the manuf is cheaper. A savage prefit from Shilen is 370. A preturned blank from Shilen is 280 and I have to ship it to a smith, most smith charge about 200 to finish the barrel and shipping back, which is roughly 480 - 500 I would think rock barrels offering the prefit direct to someone like Northland would be ideal and it would save a bunch of money for me and it would save rock barrels from the additional work load.

[nuclabuyer]

Here is the email that I got from rock creek barrels today.

Nathan,
Yes we are going to offer Savage prefits in both cut rifled and button
barrels. $450 for cut rifled and $325 for button barrels. Probably going
to just offer the two target contours to start with both the large and
small shank versions.
These are the calibers we are considering for now.

And another one I got today

Question was about reamers not on the list and when they will be up for order.

Nathan,
It would depend if I have the reamer around the shop, otherwise we would
have to order one, the customer pays half the price of the reamer and we
keep the reamer.
We will be taking orders as soon as I get all the reamers in that we
ordered. Probably gonna be June sometime.

Yea for some reason I was thinking benchmarks were cut. Excuse me.
