I just re-barreled my Savage with a Benchmark. Not a $300 barrel but it shoots like a dream. Cleans well too. Barrel finish is so good i run one wet patch through the bore, scrubbing as I go. let it soak for a few, then two clean patches. First one is filthy and second one has barely any marking at all. Sometimes I run a third patch through to make sure. You can feel the difference when running dry patches through both OE barrel and the Benchmark. They DO know how to lap a barrel.
where did you get the Benchmark barrel and who chambered it

I had Benchmark chamber it too. I've found their work to be top notch and not only that, they're less than 15 minutes from my door. I'm getting ready to order another one from them. I usually drop in and spend a little time with one of the owners spec'ing out the barrel. Best length, twist, reamer, finish, etc. for what I want to do. Then I just sit back and wait about 3 months for them to call me. Last barrel I got I dropped the action off and they installed the barrel for me. They wanted to engrave it with their name and barrel configuration so it would show when the barrel was properly headspaced. Fresh engraving on a Cerakoted SS barrel sure looks nice.Originally Posted by chetc
Always had good luck with Shaw, typically from Gunshack. Or Blackhole weaponry
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
