The barrel was cut as in the pic to allow enough for a fresh chamber and throat I think, 1.055 is the savage small shank diameter.
I think Robbie wanted a new chamber as he doesn't do shoddy work.
35 mm to allow barrel thread and enough for the barrel nut, this is what I had to estimate.
The good thing about savages is that its a straight tang with no off set.
I had trouble with the 123 gn sst with WSR primers in the Zastava so thought I would try a different primer in the Savage which paid off.
The Zastava is 1-9 and the Savage 1-8 twist.
Have yet to try the federal primers in the Zastava yet.
I paid $275 for the Howa barrel, a Shilen was going to cost $650.
I'm happy with the barrel, it shoots 100 gn a-max very well also.
$175 is a good price for the laupa brass.
