    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR Barrel issue

    Re: Savage F/TR Barrel issue Dangit, silly phone just deleted my response. Thanks for the link, didn't mean it was a casting but that it looks like casting flaws i have seen before, especially in al...like a chunk delaminated. I guess a dull tool and/or not enough lube could have galled or...

    Re: Savage F/TR Barrel issue Thanks for the responses guys! Replying via cell phone so forgive grammar. i know the pic isn't very good but i think you are right, looks like a casting flaw as a layer of ss peeled/broke off...a semi-galled look. With only 600rds, i don't know if it's done...

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR Barrel issue

    question for Savage 12 F T/R owners .308 30in

    Re: question for Savage 12 F T/R owners .308 30in I am super green compared to the knowledge above but fwiw I have the same gun. Your barrel is 12 twist so as mentioned, limit your bullet wt (length really) to the Berger 185btlr, word is their 185 hybrid is too long to use in a 12 twist...

    Re: Looking to get started in F-tr? Thanks AG! Shredder58: I would love love love to have that rifle but don't have the dough. My savage can well out-shoot me any day of the week, plus if it's good enough for team savage, it's plenty good enough for silly little me! :-)
