On that link, look at the ends of the barrel, see how discoloured it is?? $50 bucks says its a 'custom' barrel made from un heat treated steel.......as in common stock that someone turned down to a smaller profile without re treating/hardening the barrel.....

I have a boresighter kinda like that, and I don'now how someone could be so dumb to forget it's in there. You're boresighting, you should know damn well that it's in the barrel and after you get it sighted in, you remove it to shoot.

I shot the ram rod to my .58cal BP Enfield down range once......Out scored everyone with that one shot....lol...

Hmmmmmm..........

Looks like a "stock" Savage Rifle. If the guy wasn't smart enough to pull the boresighter out I doubt he is smart enough to put a "new" barrel on a Savage.

Stock Savages dont need aftermarket barrels, especially for hunting accuracy, which judging by the looks of that gun, its for hunting. So I imagine its quite possible he was stupid enough to buy a "custom" barrel like Einheit said.

At the range for their rented guns, you're not allowed to shoot anything but the range rounds you buy from them because they have an AR barrel banana'd like that. Very unfortunate... poor gun.

Looks like a waste of a weapon to me.

So anyway dad tells me his friend just got it in an e-mail too as part of a don't screw-up Quality assurance thing.

Hey - the guy found a new way to make floor lamp stands! Great addition to the gun room! Wire that sucker up, stick a 60 watter in there, cover it with one of GrandMa's hankies and you're good to go!

Did anyone see the episode of mythbuster's when they tried to bananna the barrel. I think the best they got was a buldge in the barrel.
