Building a new Savage! HELP!

[Livinloud5]

Alright i came across a killer deal on a Savage 110 270Win. Well im pretty sure im putting it in a McMillan A4, with a Leupy, and that's all I've got. I don't have a clue where to get a good barrel, i know i want to keep around 20"-24". And can i do it myself?

If your not in a hurry and don't mind no communication, then Sharp Shooter Supply builds and damn nice barrel

Devin with Sin Arms is better to deal with. He sources is own "Sin Arms" brand, Brux, or Rock Creek barrels.

I've had him build a couple barrels for me. His work is top notch and is easy to get a hold of.

You can find him on savageshooters.com

Another one is Benchmark Barrels. They are making me a .284 Win barrel for my new F-class gun built around a Savage target action worked on by Sharpshooter. Shilen is also well known for Savage drop-in barrels. Sharpshooter does great work but be prepared to wait (to be honest, it depends, on one hand I ordered a new stock for an existing gun in February and it was only finished in early July; on the other hand I ordered a timed and trued target action from them in mid-July, and it is just waiting for me to send in my FFL information).

Lothar Walther also sells finished Savage barrels.

Careful, these damn Savages are addictive.

I had Hart put one of their tubes on mine. I'm not sure how long it took them to do the work as I was deployed at the time, but I know it was around Thanksgiving time when I sent the word out to the parents to ship it out and it was waiting for me when I came home on leave late April.

Just curious on the wait time on the Benchmarks. I`ve heard nothing but good on them.

I ordered in May. I was out of the country for three weeks in July/August and let them know (so that an expensive barrel wouldn't be sitting at my door for days or weeks). I come back and got a call from them, they are just waiting for me to send them a dummy round so they can throat it. Excluding MY delay, it's been about 10 weeks. If think if you don't have special requests like I did, you can get your barrel a lot quicker.

Anyone have experience with Shilen?? That was who I have been considering with pac-nor for second place.

Re: Building a new Savage! HELP!

Dont forget to spend a few extra bucks and get a good recoil lug.
Sharpshooter supply,Northland shooting supply,holland precision all make a nice one.
