    I was not happy with the weight of the barrel it made the rifle front heavy, I pulled it back off and turned it down to 680 at the muzzle, threaded for a break, and Cerakoted Savage stainless. I think it turned out nice and it has a nice balance now.

    I like heavy barrels. I recently switched from a 26” Shilen in Varmint profile(.810 @ the muzzle), to a 28” Criterion in MTU profile(920” @ the muzzle). But then, I’m not lugging this sub 17lb. rifle around hunting! This is strictly a bench rest Rig.

    Looks great, now it's time to do some work on that chair before it collapses and dings that nice rifle.
