Pressure Trace and Savage rifles... is it possible?

I posted this in the wildcat forum. No response so I try it here.

Is there anyone that is using the Pressure Trace system with savage rifles?

I'm interested in using a Savage as a testbed for a family of cartridges (Gibbs). But the strain guage attachment with the barrel nut makes me wonder if there is sufficient room to mount the guage at the case midpoint. I dont have a savage in front of me to do any measurements.

Could you take a little off the nuts forward flange and turn the barrel to the minor dia. of the threads from the nut forward. Thus getting a clean surface to mount the strain guage.

Thanks
Ray

Ray, you can set the Savage up so that the barrels are mounted the same as a Rem action, but that kind of nullifies the easy barrel switching feature, or I guess I should say "Easier". You can also just turn a more narrow nut to use, which will leave you with more barrel available for mounting your gauge. - Dan
