If Green Mountain would made a run of Savage 110 spec barrel in the Creed, one of them and a $250 Marlin XS7 from CDNN would go together like V8 and Bud.
I acquired a take off barrel from a Savage in 6.5 "Creed". I spun it onto a Marlin XS7. My plans were to make it a 260 AI barrel. However, with all the hub-ub about the Creed, I might check headspace and shoot it. I haven't shot it because I believe in the
Don't Shoot the Donor philosophy. I recently acquired a Stevens in 243 that could easily become the 260 AI.
