Savage barrel

[ollie]

I see a lot of barrels for sale that are for the savage rifles but what barrels fit what actions? I see short shank? long shank? I have a sav 110 LA that i would like a barrel for but i dont want to spend my money in the wrong place. Can anyone help me as to what barrel to buy?
Thank you, Brad

The small shank is for the regular actions M12, M112. With the exception of the early short mag actions were also small shank barrels. The new LRPV actions are all large shank actions. That includes the new F/TR rifles.

Merlin, so do i need a small shank?

Yes, I believe that the 110 is a small shank action. You can double check by posting over at savageshooters.net.

Barrel Shanks

In 2002 Savage offered rifles in the Winchester Short Magnum,WSM) and Remington Ultra Magnum,RUM) calibers. When these were finally in the catalog, there was a change made to the barrel shank diameter. Standard barrel shank diameter on standard calibers are 1.055" x 20tpi. On the new WSM, RUM, and SAUM calibers it is 1.120" x 20tpi. The barrel nut is also bigger in internal size, but is the same outer diameter and our barrel nut wrench will still fit. Savage also used this size of shank on the first version of the Model 10ML muzzleloader.
However, there were a few WSM and RUM rifles made on the standard barrel shank in the first production run. The best way to tell is to measure the barrel shank right against the nut. The larger barrel shank will have a step down approximately 1/8" ahead of the barrel nut.

The rifle i m trying to use is a 308 now. Would like to get a 6rem AI or a 220swift AI. Was thinking of a er shaw barrel but am open to suggestions. This will be a hunting gun for LR g-hogs. Also it is a 110E. What if anything does the E stand for?

 

[Spotcheck_Billy]

The E stands for economy, as it is the lowest priced model of the Savage line featuring a plain stained hardwood stock,instead of walnut), a blind magazine, and lacks a polished blue metal finish. The action is mechanically the same as the more deluxe models.

ER Shaw barrels are ok for a hunting rifle, and I suppose that some shooters have gotten decent accuracy out of theirs but if I was going to the trouble of building a rifle on a Savage action I would opt for a Shilen, Pac-Nor, or a SharpShooter Supply barrel from Fred Moreo,made on Douglass blanks).

Give Jim Briggs,Northland Shooters Suppy)a call, he carries a lot of Savage take-off and after market barrels in both standard and large shank.
