Noob looking for guidance on 6.5x55 barrel

[51smd]

Hi Guys I'm new here. Looking for some help on buying a barrel for a Savage 110 in 6.5x55 Swede. I want to be able to hunt with the gun and shoot at the range. So I'm thinking 24” barrel rate of twist 8-1. Like many here I don't have fortune to spend on this build. I will be getting a new trigger and stock also. Thanks for any help in advance. Steve ;D

Steve..welcome to Savage Shooters !!
The Swede is a fine ole cartridge to choose....
Do your research in bbl makers that offer pre fits for your 110
Shilen....A&B.....and of course our sponsors here on this site...
Make your selection of bbl builders...yes 8 twist for the heavy long 140s
Then get some decent dies from Redding or Forster
Brass from Lapua or Win/Rem...
Lapua & Norma brass has a slight larger head diameter....but will still work with your 110 bolt......
I'm building a 6.5x55 as we speak...waiting for the Pac Nor tube..
A heavy varmint/target rig on a large shank Savage Target action...
Finished weight on the table will be 18-19 lbs....not a carry gun for sure...
My SS T3 Tikka in 6.5x55 is my carry gun......
Good luck in your build.........

AIU ;D

Talk to Sinman (Sinarms) or Jim at Northland Shooting Supply (both site sponsors). Jim may have a Swede barrel in stock. If not, Devin can chamber you one in any configuration yuo want at a reasonable price.
