Castrating the savage allows one more variable in accuracy (whether good or bad). It allows the use of larger diameter barrel therfore more resistant to barrel harmonics.Originally Posted by CFS
You can always screw the barrel back off and go with the barrel nut on the next barrel then, screw the castrated barrel back on without the worry of headspacing it (headspace built in as long as you use the same action and recoil lug).
