Do you guys know if Savage makes a 110 bull barrel & if so what calibers they make them in? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
Isn't searching for a "bull barrel" regardless of caliber the tail wagging the dog? A rifle fills a role and the role (deer hunting, bear hunting, paper punching) determines the caliber and each role can require a different caliber so lets back up and what role do you want this rifle to fill and lots will chime in with advice.
eta: please define what you call a bull barrel, there is no set standard afaik.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
Savage used to offer the 110FP in 25-05 and in 300 Win Mag. It was part of the LE series rifles. The make a 110 in 338 Lapua and also the 111 Long Range Hunter with heavier than sporter weight barrels.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
I just wanted to see if Savage had an OEM bull/heavy barrel & what my options were. I'd like a heavy barrel for long range & I'd like to get a recessed crown, hence me asking for a bull barrel.
I define a bull barrel as a thick heavy barrel. This is a bull barrel in my opinion. http://mcmillanusa.com/images/stock.jpg
Anyway, I'll be using it for long range target shooting & hunting. I'd like to go with a .300 Magnum if possible but I don't know if they make a .300 bull barrel. I know I can get a custom barrel but I don't wanna break the bank.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
Thanks! I might see if I can track down one of those 110FP barrels. My dad gave me a 110 in .270 & I wanna change the caliber & do some work to it.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
AFAIK, there is a standard for a "bull" barrel- it's one that does not change contour and remains full diameter from the receiver to the muzzle.
Varmint countour is very close, but does taper slightly.
I'm in the same search process.
Midway USA and Brownells have a few Shilen and ER Shaw barrels.
Other than that, NSS as suggested at Savageshooters.com.
ER Shaw has great prices- especially in the white since I'm going to Duracoat mine, but I called them and there's a six month lead time...you need to just deal with whatever you can find in stock.
I believe that the magnum calibers can be either large OR small shank- so be sure to check what receiver you have. If your rifle was not a magnum caliber from the factory, my understanding is that they are all small shank...
I checked for ya...
Brownells does have a .300WM in a "Magnum" contour- it's heavier than a sporter, but less so than a varmint or bull...
Can't beat the price for $200 for a whole kit...
From what I've gathered, ER Shaw is no Shilen or PacNor, but a decent barrel if you're not a comp. shooter. You can see what NSS has in stock, here: http://savageshooters.com/SavageForum/index.php/board,64.0.html
and Shaw barrel contours/dimensions, here:

Thanks, that's some good info. I'm gonna Duracoat my build as well. I found a sweet site that has Camo patterns & all kinds of cool stuff for Duracoat firearm finishes. If you haven't seen it check it out. http://www.duracoat-firearm-finishes.com/
Thanks to all you guys for all the help & good info! I'll start a thread & post some pics after I make some progress on the build!

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
I bought a Critereon barrell for my 110 from Jim, stainless 26" straight taper. It's not a "Bull" barrell, but holds 3/4" or less. A good barrell that is in stock is hard to find, if Jim has one in stock buy with confidence.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
I just have to ask.
Do you have any time at a bench shooting a .300 WM?
Do you have any idea what the ammo costs?
Do you know what the expected barrel life of a .300 WM is?
What is "long range" to you?
What type of game are you hunting?
I am making a presumptive statement here, but by the manner in which you asked your question, I am thinking you are a novice and jsut want a .300 because someone impressed you with one at the range or because Army snipers are begining to carry it.
I will give you my opinion.
Savage long range precision varmiter in either 6.5 creedmore or .260 Rem.
Both will keep pace with the .300 with far less recoil, far cheaper ammo and greatly extended barrel life.
I have seen many a shooter trying to shoot their .300 WM from the bench develop a flinch.
It is not for the faint of heart and 20 rounds can be a punishing experience.

I agree with this on every account. If you are not a novice than disregard but, if you've not sat down and shot a magnum caliber for a day at the range, it's quite the humbling experience. I also agree with the 6.5 Creed or 260 idea. I had a Savage in 6.5 Creed and let me tell you, it'll get to 1k with no issues. Unless your going to be shooting comps, which in that case you probably wouldn't be looking into a factory barrel, then I'd go with the LRP in 6.5. The 300 will have less wind drift but once again, only a small deifference and not noticeably enough if your not competing. If you have another gun and you need the 300 for a specific reason then by all means it is a great round. If not, the 6.5 will do everything you need without the dent in your shoulder or your wallet.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
Yes, I have experience with a .300 WM. I used to have an old Weatherby Mark 5.
I know how much the ammo is, yes.
I know large caliber weapons have a shorter barrel life.
Long range to me is 2,000+ meters but I won't be shooting that far with a .300 WM! lol!
I'm not a novice but I'm not Carlos Hathcock either! lol!
As far as game I'll be hunting black bear, elk, maybe moose. So basically large game.
I'm a big guy & the .300 Mag recoil isn't that bad for me, but you make an interesting point. I'll have to check those out.
Thanks for the info!

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
The 6.5 and .260 will take elk with the proper bullet selection.
Moose, however, might need a bit more horsepower.
Consider the .280AI for stuff that big.
It nips at the heels of the 7mm RM using less powder and longer barrel life.
There are MANY MANY excellent 7mm bullets and it will take that moose without a problem. You'll be able to do with 168 grains what the .300 does with 190 grains.
If you still have a heavy hitter in your safe, then take a really good llok at that 6.5 or .260.

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
I dont know much but i do know you cant go wrong with jim! I bought a stevens 200 heavy lug and CBI 24in bull from him. If you plan to upgrade get an action and barrel and pic your stock. good luck and have fun!

Re: Savage 110 Bull Barrel
+1 on the 6.5 Creedmoor.. and as above.. the only reason the army didnt carry 300 WM from the start was the recoil... too much bitching about practice! hence.. the softer, gentler touch of the 308
