6mm Dasher sounds great but not many people will want to buy that from a company without much reputation. I wouldn't bank on selling out a batch of wildcats right away. I think another smart move would be to start with batches of popular calibers like. If someone does it, they should offer a high quality threaded muzzle as a low cost option, some people will bite just for that. Point being, there is a market out there and it's probably less work to make a Savage Pre-fit than an AR barrel (no gas port, no gas block journal, no barrel extension and no barrel extension pin). I may try to cast a lead lap so I can hand lap the barrel to smooth out the rifling and hopefully make it a reliable sub-MOA shooter. I paid over $200 but it is an SR model with a threaded muzzle, 1 in 10" twist and it is fluted. I bought a Savage new take-off barrel for just that reason. These switch barrel setups often use barrel nut style barrels and several custom actions use the Savage small shank thread so there is a market there. One thing that is happening is that switch barrel rifles are becoming more of a thing but a guy wanting a selection of barrels isn't necessarily going to want to spend $300+ each.
I think there is a guy in Nevada selling Savage pre-fits on eBay starting in the $200s. I'd assume they have a standing order and are buying at a reasonable quantity.īut anyway, with more actions coming out to take small shank barrels and more people moving that way (barrel nuts for Howa, tikka, etc, barloc coming out) you may see more price point prefits in the next few years. For now the closest you can get is that NSS stocks 26 inch varmint barrels in 6.5 (just ordered one this week). Think Grayboe stocks, you can get the McMillian pattern stock but you only have choice of two inlets, two bottom metals, and a few colors. It would be interesting to see them push a product line with minimal options. Criterion is probably the closest to what you're looking for, but even then they probably don't make the volume of one type of barrel to meet that price point. Made to order (Starts with Criterion at $300 and goes up from there to cut rifle blank prefits from bugnuts, PVA etc)ĭefinitely a gray zone in between. 308 barrel on ebay for $80 is shot out, but a used. New and use take-offs (ebay, forums,NSS usually has some new ones)ĭefinitely some deals to be had there if you know what you're looking for and you're willing to roll some dice. Savage patter barrels right now fit (broadly) into two categories. The market could be ripe for somebody to mass produce small shank 24 inch 6.5 barrels. If you setup your shop and you're just churning out carbine barrels to the same spec all month the buyer doesn't have to pay for as much re-tooling/downtime. I agree with spaniel, economies of scale.
