New barrel

[mtnboomr]

A couple years back I bought a Savage Model 11 in .223 for a really good price because it had a rust ring in the barrel. The gun looked almost new, and the blueing is perfect, so someone likely left a patch in the barrel.

I decided I would rebarrel it since Savages are pretty easy to do. Well, it got stuck back in a corner and forgotten for a bit.

Today I ordered a barrel from Northland Shooters Supply as they had the best price I found on Shilen barrels.

Specs:

small shank - sporter contour
22" barrel
.223 Rem. Wylde (same price as standard .223 Rem.)
1:8 twist - 6 groove
stainless match (lapped bore)
recessed crown
bead blasted finish

$405.31 shipped from Shilen to my front door.

Did you ever shoot it with the ariginal barrel?

No, the rust ring is pretty bad.

I hope it is a shooter when she is done,
I really like savage rifles out of the box they are my go to for accuracy.
