Update: called savage again the lady was again surprised by the rifling and helped narrow down the model of gun it came off from which is 12VLP sku#18464
Hello I bought a barrel off of ebay recently as it was a package deal with a stock I needed. Barrel is a factory savage SS 26" fluted small shank. Upon cleaning the barrel I realized it was a 1:7 twist much to my delight. Once I broke out my bore scope I realized the rifling was not normal because it has about a 2-2.5" long section at the beginning that is straight not twisting. I called savage before I posted the videos (see youtube links below) and the man could not give me an answer as to why it would be this way. Have any of you ran into this before?
