Here is one. This is International Barrels. Can’t get a barrel direct from them because they are in Canada. I’ve dealt with them for their machined Barrel nut, which is very nice. I like it over the standard Savage style. The barrel is a 22”, 1-10 heavy barrel with 5/8-24 muzzle threads. Out of stock now, but one to keep in mind. For $479 plus discounts through Brownells, not a bad option. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...rod129688.aspx
The barrel nut wrench is cheap. The action vise is not. I liked the convenience of it and plan on using it again so I bought it.
In the old days we would make the action or barrel vise jaws. Block of hardwood shaped carefully to match the gun. Placed in a good bench vise. Given price of good hardwood these days, the action vise from Jim is pretty comparable.
When I asked about 6BR barrels Jim had several to choose from. Not sure about others, or if you want something specific, like a non-standard twist rate.
7mm08 if you reload.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
I'm going through this same thought process right now and Jim from Northland Shooters Supply is who I'm calling when the time comes. I've got a Criterion bull picked out and all the tools needed to rebarrel. I'm thinking it will be next year some time, so I'll be interested to read about your experience!
Then you will become a really-real “Savage Smith”! Make sure to get your membership card & Decoder Ring. LOL!
LOL... Barrel is the ONLY thing I haven't changed yet on a Savage Rifle. I never had a range that I could shoot a barrel out at until April of this year... Good times!
Jim will spend all the time you need to make sure you get what you need. The more I shoot my 6BR the happier I am I made the choice to do it myself.
I wish I had discovered the 7-08 earlier. I'm liking it.Originally Posted by Robinhood
The popularity of the 6.5 CM seems to have pushed the 7mm-08 and even the .308 into the background. But my 7mm-08 rifles remain some of my favorites.
Yep, whats not to like?
I agree, but the 7mm08 just feels right. and you can load a 160 class if you want.The popularity of the 6.5 CM seems to have pushed the 7mm-08 and even the .308 into the background. But my 7mm-08 rifles remain some of my favorites.
