Ive decided to shorten my Savage Model 10 308 sporter barrel to about 16”...to be crowned and threaded by gunsmith. I believe factory twist is 1-10. Ive been shooting 165 grain Federal Sierra BT Game Kings and Ive been satisfied with accuracy. I just want a 308 setup that is more thicket friendly.
Im considering canceling the lathe work and ordering a thicker barrel and simply replacing the long skinny barrel with a shorter fatter barrel. Should the twist stay at 1-10 or change?
It seems that there are several barrel makers that sell Savage replacement barrels already made and in stock. Id appreciate any barrel maker suggestions...dos and donts.
Thanks for any guidance.
