Any recommendations?

Thanks

Savage rifles are simple to change barrels on. All it takes is a proper barrel or action vise and a barrel wrench. I rented the headspace gauges for $22 including shipping. There are quite a few barrel manufacturers that make pre-fit Savage barrels. Simple if the bolt head size is the same and if not you can replace the bolt head with a larger or smaller size.

Good source of info can be found on savageshooters.com

mcgowen has been a good choice for me.

what's wrong with your barrel? i have personally just reset the headspace to my rounds, and had amazing results .. well, "Amazing" may be an overstatement - AN example - i've taken a 2" 110 to a 1" 110 in about 45 minutes .. 7 rem mag, a layer of aluminum tape over the case head, turn the barrel till snug, tighten the barrel nut, go fire it, groups immediately better ...

Shilen and a multitude of others.

Only one answer to that; Douglas; the oldest and still the best; all others are inferior in some way. I put one on just yesterday....
Yes, I have used most all of them and I can talk about each one's issues. I know, some guys like the low end ones; fine.
But rebarreling a Savage is something a 12 year old can do.

Whew! I've learned on AR that 12 year olds, monkeys too, can barrel Savages and TIG weld. I did not start my gun plumbing career until my 40's. What other gunsmithing skills should I have learned when I was 12?

And as a Mountaineer in diaspora, I am proud to agree about Douglas. Their service cannot be beaten, even by a 12 year old monkey.

Another Mountaineer of origin; at age 12 I was refinishing all my Father's friends' shotgun stocks and charging them for it!

Have a Stevens/Savage barrel 30-06. Was a take off for a caliber change marked 110.. If you are needing a barrel.
Just as a note I am over 12 now
