·Was wondering if anyone had any experience in rebarrelling Savage actions? The more I look at the Adams & Bennett barrrels, the more interested I am in replacing the factory barrel with an aftermarket A&B to gain 2" length and possibly rechamber to something different. Their website makes the replacement look relatively simple though I think I would want a qualified smith to check the headspacing when all was done.
I don't want or need a high end top dollar barrel since I am more interested in hunting and shooting at the range for fun. A couple smiths I normally use don't seem to be familiar with the A&B barrels and want to steer me towards high dollar match grade barrels which is not what I need or want. I'd like to get some info on any of the following from folks in the know on this:
1) Difficulty in pulling the old barrel and mounting a new barrel that is already threaded for the action?
2) The thread diameter on the 110 action? Mine is a 30-06 but not sure actual year of manufacture and want to determine what the thread diameter on the barrel is. Apparently some actions are 1.125 (short and ultra mags I think) and others are 1.062".
3) Any experience with A&B barrels? Most of the feedback MidwayUSA has seems to be positive but I'd like to hear from others on this as well.
Thanks.
