I bought a stainless .308 barrel with the Savage muzzle brake off the classifieds here, about 5 or 6 years ago, and finally put it on my Model 16 receiver. I camo'd the stainless barrel with camo tape. Took it to Quebec Moose hunting for the rifle season and killed a 51 1/2" Bull that the Butcher estimated to be 1200 pounds live weight.
The Bull was called in to 20 yards and took a Barnes 168 Gr. VorTec BT bullet just left of the breastbone. It spun around and sprinted 20 yards and tripped (or fell) over a fallen tree... My first Moose - soon to reside on my wall. i think it may be a while before I put the 300 Savage barrel back on the rifle. Happy, Happy, Happy!
