Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

I kept my factory barrel and hand lapped it (That was a learning experience) but it came out excellent and we put it on my dad's savage and it shoots sub moa.

Could you elaborate on the diy hand lapping?

Thanks,

Basically you are pouring a custom slug of lead in your Barrel that you form around some type of handle that you can push and pull with and then you coat that slug you've created with a fine lapping compound and you push it through your Barrel over and over until you achieve a mirror finish and smooth out any tight spots in the barrel

I put the order in, said I can get it Thursday. We will see. I was shopping for a barrel with a faster twist than my 9.25 twist on the .243. This 8 twist 6.5 barrel came with some real good extras
