RugerOldArmy, I can assure with my life it's a Savage Precision M12 barrel from a single shot target action I cut down.
I did find some pics. Do you think this is a REAL savage barrel?
(HINT...you can see the "warning" scroll mark ahead of the threads.
Does the muzzle look familiar?
This is the section where the barrel was cut. I have a trained I and recognized immediately the bore was non concentric

I question it, for several reasons:
- First, no Model 12 I've ever seen, or is currently listed, had a thread protector, or more reasonably a brake, on the muzzle. (From the factory).
- If he also cut down the barrel, at the breech, there are several problems with that section. First: it isn't threaded on the outside. Second: it isn't beveled like the ones in my pics. Third: Look at what would have to be the throat, in relation to his fingers. The throat would be more than .308. Fourth: Look at the color of the steel, and the finishing, in relation to an actual Model 12 Precision barrel.
So I conclude that he made an honest mistake, concluding that some 'Bubba' aftermarket barrel section, or third party thread protector, was a stock Savage item.
Reading comprehension goes along way. Read my original post again s l o w l y and try to understand what I typed.
Hint...this guy got it!
BTW I thought the barrel mentioned was cut down and threaded by the poster and that's when he noticed the bore was off.
