Can anyone tell me what is the diameter of the barrel behind the mod threads? thinking about an LEI mod and wondered what the difference in diameter would be - would the barrel run straight onto the mod as is the case I believe with the CZ thumbhole?
Thanks
 
Hi w16oen

I have a the same set up and the mod is slightly larger ( talking only a mm or two) so is slightly raised from where the barrel threads start , looks great though

Thanks Scoie. What do think of the BTVS - is the mag release fiddly, is the accutrigger similar to a two stage setup whereby you take up the slack and then resistance and release, is there two barrel lengths? Cheers W160EN
 
Hi W16OEN

I find the savage an excellent gun, had a cz varmint before no problems with it but really liked the look of the savage and this was before cz did thumbhole stocks.
One came up at a great price , as new in carbine (16" ish ) barrel ( they do a standard barrel too) , and its been great, looks superb , is a handy size , weight, and is silky smooth to operate, the accutrigger is one of the best fitted imo , the mag catch is the only flaw in a perfect gun , but only because it looks a bit odd, it performs perfectly and not overly fiddly and have never had a mag fall out.
I think a question has been raised before on Savage BTVS and they ( if i remember correct) get a positive report, i would certainly recommend it

I would never take a Savage over a CZ. I have 60 year old CZ's but a 60 year old Savage (should you find one) is usually in the parts bin.

That said, I ordered a Savage bolt .22 yesterday. Sixteen inch barrel, Accutrigger, rail mounts, weighted bolt, and threaded for a suppressor: $235~Muir
 
Savage is a good accurate rifle well built . Cz may be good but looks and feels like its come from fairground.
