I have a Savage 99F action (only) that was originally 308 Winchester. To barrel the action with a stainless steel 308 barrel, what am I getting into - in terms of difficulty for the gunsmith, in terms of dollar cost, and anything else that comes to mind? Whom would you recommend to do the job - unless barreling is so straightforward that any competent gunsmith can do the job correctly. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | ||

I believe all 99s except the very late ones have square threads. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I apologize for breaking into this thread, but I have a 99 take down with the old twist, so it won't stabilize anything around 110+ grains. What would it take to rebarrel a take down? I know it would be more work than a standard 99. Any info appreciated. | |||

Oops, bad keystroke. I meant "anything around 100 grains" | |||
