Anyone have links to the pre-fit Savage barrels, I've got a buddy on a budget that wants a 1-8" twist .243 Win.

All we can find are 1-10"

Thanks!

order straight from pac-nor or shilen, takes a little longer but you can specify what you want...

I would go with Shilen over Mcgowen due to the customer service and Shilen has been making barrels along time. Jim can have it cut to length by Shilen for $30.00

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sdswp5</div><div class="ubbcode-body">McGowen Precision offers pre-fit for savage. Their list of twist rates is substantial and the wait times are reasonable. Here's the link:

I have one of their barrels, and it shoots very well. Although there have been many complaints recently, about people that got lemons from them.
A change of hands or transition was brought up as cause of those issues.
 
Re: Pre-Fit Savage Barrels ????

I recieved a Shilen prefit 243 AI for my Savage and its shooting honest .5 MOA at 100yds with 105 AMax (1 in 8" twist). Took a while but worth the wait.

Re: Pre-Fit Savage Barrels ????

Call Woody at Lothar Walther, I just ordered a .308 and had it in a week(including mailing a M.O. to them)for just under $300. They have the .243 1:8 twist your looking for in the Savage varmint contour.

And my .308 put 5 shots in a .759 inch edge to edge group the other day. With Ultramax reman. 168 SMK in LC MG brass.

Re: Pre-Fit Savage Barrels ????

Get a Benchmark! I have LW, Krieger, Bartlein, Rockcreek, Wilson, and Benchmark. The Benchmarks are the best barrel for the money in my opinion. Call them (Benchmark) direct or send your rifle to Kevin Rayhill at Stockade Gunstocks. Kevin can true your action and fit a Benchmark for you. You will be ammazed at the price and quality.
