You'll never find a true "bull" barrel on a hunting stick.
A "bull" barrel is the same diameter at the muzzle as it is at the shank.
Next is "varmint" contour- .85 at the muzzle.

And I have a Boyd's on another make of action, not a Savage...and it was anything BUT a "drop-in" fit... inletting was way off, I spent three hours fixing it.

Check, most of their stocks say "semi-inletted"...and they mean it.
you must have got the "bad one", i have 2 and they did "drop right in". i like Boyds' and will continue to buy from them. i'm waiting for them to bring out the Classic model in varmint barrel. i'll grab one of those as soon as they come out.
looks good, good fit and price!
