Hello. I have a Savage Pre Accutrigger model 10FP Tactical in .223 Remington. F prefix serial bought used in 2001.

It currently wears the original 24 inch heavy target barrel.

This rifle has always been a super shooter posting under .4MOA goups with almost any quality handloads I feed it.

I recently acquired a borescope and was amazed at the condition of the bore!

It's horrible! Gobs of rust and pits like it's been fired with corrosive ammo and never cleaned!

This particular barrel was always prone to rusting on the outside wherever it was touched, but I guess that same propensity for rust carried over into the bore. This rifle has been my truck gun on the farm for years and although I clean it after shooting sessions I can only assume the bore rusted unbeknownst to me while sitting in the seat of my truck.

It still shoots great, but I now have a suppressor for a .223 and would like something shorter, threaded and possibly stainless so I can use my suppressor on this rifle.

I don't need a top of the line target barrel, just looking for something inexpensive to replace the sewer pipe it currently has.

I am open to any suggestions you may have.
