Hi All,
Do you know if Savage ever produced a production small shank wsm barrel?
Do you know if there is a reason why they went to large shank?
Does anyone make small shank barrels for a savage action?

Probably 300 first 7MM second and 270 last. I think thats the order Winchester put them out but thats really wild @$$ guess. Pretty sure my WSM's have a G prefix and are "pre Accutrigger" large shank. Not home right now to check the numbers.

I just sent out a really nice 7mm-300wsm small shank interupted fluted ss Brux barrel. Some places I don't think they make them but most do.
I think most except ER Shaw will make them on the small shank.
