I need some help. Im looking for a 20inch .223 heavy contour barrel for a savage 110. i have exhausted my googlefu and haven't found anything.

Can anybody point me in the right direction, or am I going to have to cut a barrel down?
 
Re: savage barrel swap

Go over to the savage shooter forum and look for Jim at northland shooting supply he can get you anything you want. I just ordered a 20" CBI barrel in 223 from him.

No offense, but your googlefu is terrible.

Jim at Northland is a good source, also Sharp Shooter Supply and savagebarrels.com will get you cookin.
 
Re: savage barrel swap

I also suggest Jim at Northland or Sin Arms, I have never heard a negative thing about either one of them. I have a barrel coming from Jim. The Criterion Barrels(button rifled Kriegers) Jim is offering have excellent reviews, and they are priced very well. They are planning a price increase in August or September so it would be a good time to buy one.

Thanks for the help!

It isn't that I can't find Savage barrels, just not any 20" heavy or straight taper barrels in 223.

I'll go back and check the sites given above to see if I can find speciffically what I'm looking for.

Jim sells just actions or occasionally you can find one in the classifieds on savageshooters.com forum. However the best route is to find a cheap rifle to tear down. I bought 4 complete savage rifles for $300 or less, you typically can't find actions for less. You can sell the barrel and stock if you don't want it.

I've got a long 110 action with .473 bolt head (fits 308/30-06 type cases) that I'd be willing to part with if you are interested.
