300WM for varmint hunting?Anyone have any recent experience with Savage take offs? Looking at 300 WM for hunting/varmint shooting
To answer one question, the newer take offs shoot very well, the ones that are 20+ years old not so much.We have large varmints in Montana!!!Neighbor needs a new barrel for his rifle that he keeps it at the back door for pasture protection
I too have had wonderful experiences with the Savage barrels. I have a lot of custom barrels by Brux, Lilja, Krieger, Broughton and Bartleen. The truth is some of these Savage barrels shoot every bit as well as they do and some even better,To answer one question, the newer take offs shoot very well, the ones that are 20+ years old not so much.
When Savage updated their machinery several years ago they went from blah to pretty good. You can't make good barrels on worn out antiques. Well, once in a while, but the machinery being used today makes it pretty rare to get a bad one from MOST manufacturers.I too have had wonderful experiences with the Savage barrels.

I have some Savage barrels that are 15 years old and they shoot one tiny hole. High 1's to very low 2's 5 shot groups. Of course the were all like new barrels. Not worn out junk.When Savage updated their machinery several years ago they went from blah to pretty good. You can't make good barrels on worn out antiques.
