Guy I know had a Savage and the crown was cut badly. The burn pattern was uneven and the rifle would not group.

So he hacksawed a little off the end and re-crowned it, there is this tool you can rent or buy.

Accuracy got better. Eventually cut the 22 inch barrel to 20, got tremendous tight groups.

Morql of the story is advise: Cut in small increments and check accuracy as you go.

Got it back but im waiting on my bolt and bottom metal to get back from getting coated. Ill let you know speeds once i can shoot it.

I'll have to look but I think it shot 2960 with 120nbt and 44gr rl15 with the 24in barrel.

Does the noise level go up significantly when you cut down the barrel?

Going from 24 to 22 in a 7mm 08 I doubt u would ever know notice the difference . Going from 24 to 18 ? Probably yes!
