Savage drop in barrel options

[Griffin4590]

Looking to re barrel my savage 10 from .308 to 6.5cm or .260
Who makes a good barrel that I can get ready to install. I have the tools for the job I just dont have the machine tools to finish a blank. What are my options?

Criterion, from Northland Shooters Supply.

I have a 26" varmint contour 8 twist 260 Rem Criterion barrel on a 10FP action and it is fantastic. $280 + shipping for the same barrel today.

Jim Briggs @ NSS has a bunch in stock, and can order you whatever length, contour, and options (fluting, threads, etc.) you would want should he not have it on the shelf.

+1 for Jimm at NSS. My .260 CBI is a real shooter. You will not be sorry. I may be calling for another shortly, this time 6mm BR.

Is Criterion as good as Shilen?

probably depends on the grade of Shilen...

but they're direct competitors

Re: Savage drop in barrel options

CBI is part of Krieger barrels....should be good stuff. I've purchased two McGowen prefits. One was through Jim at Northland and one was from McGowen direct. Both barrels are decent...probably a notch below the better Shilen barrels or maybe CBI.

One other option you might want to entertain is ordering one from Sinman...or Sinarms. He's on this site...he does pre-fit barrels. I've got a Brux .308 on order for my BVSS....hope to have it some time this spring.

I'm thinking we'll have more options to choose from as the popularity of Savage increases.

I've used several PacNor and they are fantastic.. you can get in whatever length,caliber,profile,crown,twist you want.

Re: Savage drop in barrel options

I have a Shilen select match in 6.5 creedmoor that consistently shoots .75 moa or better. I also just got a CBI in .223 wylde that i put on a new build yesterday and the first group I shot measured .336 at 100 yards. Both barrels came from Jim at Northland.

Re: Savage drop in barrel options

also, there is about a 24+ page long thread on savage shooters that is just reviews of CBI barrels. I think out of all the ones i read were positive and no bad ones.

Re: Savage drop in barrel options

I just got 20 E-Mails from E Arthur Brown Yesterday which included links to their Savage parts and Barrels!

http://www.eabco.com/Savage_Rifle_Barrels_by_E_R_Shaw.html

I have no experience with either of these barrels but EAB has always been fair and prompt with the things I have ordered in the past!

I figured that getting the same message 20 times was some kind of a sign!

Re: Savage drop in barrel options

I have a CBI 260 26". Great barrels. Some friends of mine have several Savage Shilen Select Match and the CBI runs almost identical to them.

I went with CBI just to see how it staked up to the Shilen and so far works awesome.

Have ran my 260 all the way out to 1100yds.
