Savage rebarrel.

I have 2 Criterion LV 204 barrels & 1 6 MM HV Creed,1 6 BRA HV Palma 30" got all 4 from Northland Shooter Supply's All are capable of 1/4 MOA or better, got the lug & barrel Nut from NSS too .would highly recommend.They can also thread the barrel for a brake or suppressor
 
Thanks again but the question isn't where to get, it's what to get.

No experience with either a fast twist 223 or the 22ARC. Though I am more familiar with the 223.
 
I am joining this thread instead of starting another one. Here is a bad picture of an early 110. Can you guys tell if it is the 'newer' vintage that can be rebarreled easily. the ones made in the '60 were a different design. Forgive the bad picture quality.Savage-Left-Hand-110CL-H-243-Winchester_103097935_6290_26094EC04266232D.jpeg
 
One of Brads 223 7 twist ISSF chamber barrels couple weeks back
80.5 Berger .020 out an easy load of 23.5 varget PMC brass fed 205 primer
This was best group in Ideal conditions zero wind--all the other groups were under 2 1/2 inch at 600
It also shoots great with the 80 SMK but not as good as the Berger

We are shooting 22.5 AR COMP which is essentially the exact same load. DOWNRIGHT IMPRESSIVE

That's not a pre-66 110 which did have a unique bolt head, barrel, trigger group, and a few other things. ;)
 
Contact Brad at the Urbanrifleman or X-Caliber Barrels. I have 2 of Urbanrifleman barrels and one from X-Caliber, both are very accurate.
2nd on Urbanrifleman as he fixed me up with a heavy Wilson barrel in 223 rem a 8 twist. It loves 80gr VLD and it shoots 85.5gr Berger very well too. Unless he got a reamer for the 22 arc in the past few months you may be out of luck with the 22 arc. But I do know he has one for the 22 xc and from what I understand they are shooters!
 
I just replaced a Savage 12 FV 26 -inch 1:9 twist factory barrel with a Shilen Select Match 416R 1:7 twist 26 inch barrel from Northland Shooters Supply. The factory barrel had 9,013 rounds through it. The factory barrel wasn't totally shot out based on measured group sizes, but the chamber depth was getting deep enough to make me concerned about maintaining neck tension.
Ordered the Shilen on Thursday and it was delivered on Saturday and installed on Tuesday. 30 minutes total install time.

Results to date show a 16.4% improvement in accuracy comparing equivalent bullets and powders.
Average 5- round group sizes at 100 yards for equivalent powder and bullets was 0.261 for 511 groups with the factory barrel and 0.227 for 82 groups with the Shilen.
The Shilen barrel shoots 80 and 90 grain bullets to an average of 0.229 for 40 groups.
17% of the 5 round groups with the Shilen are under 0.200 inches.

By the way, I get 20 to 23 reloads out of .223 Lapua brass and 12 to 16 reloads out of Starline brass. I don't shoot any loads near PMax. None of my rifles shoot accurately when the pressure gets near PMax.
