The only common CF rifles with press-fitted barrels that I'm aware of are the Remington 710/770 series. No Savage or Stevens CF rifle that I've seen has had a press-fitted barrel, but I've never seen the insides of either the current production 25s or 40s. Even the super economy grade Savage Axis/Edge has a threaded barrel, so if they were going to press-fit barrel, it would seem logical that the Axis/Edge would have been the rifle where they would have done so.

EDIT: I went over to the Savage site and looked at the Savage 10 Predator Hunter Max 1. Although there is nothing in the on-line details that specifically addresses the question of whether it has a press-fit or threaded barrel, the rifle that is pictured has a barrel nut.
