SHILEN 6BR NORMA SAVAGE BUILD

shilen 6br

Ian of Texas sent some info on his recent 6BR Norma Savage build using a Shilen barrel he purchased from Northland Shooters Supply.

Here are the specs on what Ian purchased from Northland Shooters Supply:

  • 28” Shilen Stainless Select Match Barrel- Bull Contour- Large Shank- 6BR Norma- 8 Twist
  • PT&G Headspace Gauges

Here is what Ian had to say about his build:
“I got the barrel on the rifle and took it to the range this morning.I am super happy with it. This is the first shots out of it with no load development and a cheap bullet for “break in”. 
 
These are all three shot groups except the top left group which is a 4 shot group. Each group was a different powder charge!! The numbers next to each group indicates the powder charge used.

The gun started life as a Savage Elite Precision chambered in .223, I then changed it to a Shilen .233 barrel from you. It was still shooting well with more than 4000 rounds through it. It would consistently shoot .5 MOA groups up to 600 yards.

I am currently running it with a Tract Toric scope (great scope for the $’s) and a JARD trigger set at 4oz.”
