Savage Pre-Fit, Threaded and Chambered Barrels

All BFG chamberings are suitable for a standard barrel tenon action, 1.055", except the 358 BFG 1.625" or 1.8".

The 358 BFG (either) requires an original WSM or Precision/Target large barrel tenon action, 1.125".  Savage increased the barrel tenon diameter for a reason.  



Stainless Steel, Standard Chambers:

Up to 17" finish length $170
Up to 26" finish length $225

Stainless Steel, BFG Chambers:

Up to 17" finish length $200
Up to 26" finish length $240


I suggest the late model "centerfeed" actions for best feeding with short & stubby cartridges.  These are easily recognized, as the magazine body stays with the
stock, instead of being attached to the action (other than detachable/hinged floorplate models).  

In most cases, the factory Savage WSM magazine box and follower are most desirable for proper feeding.  Trim the front of the WSM follower approximately
1/2".  Fabricate a ramp, roughly 1/2" long to ease the transition from the magazine box into the chamber (Delrin cutting board material works nicely for this).  

WSM Magazine boxes, modified as explained above, are available.  Minor fitting will be required.  $55
