been told alot when i shoot f t/r that my savage is not a savage since i shoot a shilen ssm barrel and its got me thinking just how good are the barrels that are put on the savage f t/r rifles?. i'm thinking when i shoot out this shilen barrel rechambering it with a 30" stock bull barrel in 308 win .i know that every barrel will shoot differently some better than others but the statements/comments got me thinking about shooting bone stock (other than the barrel its like it came from the factory trigger and all) then see what they have to say.
