Hello everyone,

I recently moved and lost my long range shooting grounds and decided a 223 would be better than wasting  260 rem rounds for the close range shooting I'm limited to. I was planning on re barreling my 260 but can't come to terms so  I picked up a basic  savage stevens 22-250. I'm getting  ready to place my barrel order and thought I should have a place line up that can take the old barrel off and put the new one on.

I know just buy the tools...it's easy...you'll use them again...etc but that's not what I want to do at this time.

So any recommendations in the newark area to re barrel my savage ?


Thanks in advance

I'm in the Howard, OH 43028  area I could help you out. I'm just a hobbyist at this stuff, but work with Savages pretty frequently. Are you doing any shooting at Rayner's?

What kind of 260 do you have?  I have been looking for one.

Savage action
Shilen blued Match grade 1:8
Choate varmint stock
Versa pod
Vortex 5-15 (midway exclusive a few years ago)
Vortex rings
20 moa rail bedded.

your location?.. im in medina, have all the tools needed, built 6 or 7 now...

I'm located in newark ohio. I'm at a standstill until this Sunday  on if I'm re barreling or not. Thank you for your offer and I'll post back either way

Whitetail Gunsmithing is loudenville ohio is awesome for this kind of work. They also do 10$ ffl transfers

That's a kick ass deal for 10 bucks! Good information! !

I had three lowers transferred on the same 4473 and he still only charged 10$ I gave him 20$ though anyways, just because I appreciate him being there.

Super nice guy, usually always has the receivers/guns logged in, in advance and ready for you when you get there so the transfer literally takes a couple minutes.

I've had him drill and tap some SG receivers and he does great work. A++++ shop!! Just wish he was a class 3 so he could do suppressors.

I've barreled a bunch of them...super easy, but alas my stuff is all in storage for a move. Should be an easy swap at any gunsmith. Wrench, vise, gauges, presto change-o.
