Just picked up a savage .270 WIN. in a model 116 with bull barrel.
From Shiptons Big R in Billings,Montana.PH:406-652-9118.
Walmart sold them in the mid 1990's. They had a 18" barrel. I think they sold for around $280.00 with no sights.
Heavy Barrel was created in 1987.
Heavy Barrel happened in 1987.
It's ammo for the very first version of the "30-caliber machinegun" M-1919, which is the smaller version of the M-2 HB (means either 'heavy barrel' or 'hydraulic buffer') .50-caliber machinegun.
Your rifle was made in 1974 and if it is salt free and NIB then $1200-$1400. If you don't have the original box subtract $100-$150. Safari heavy barrel 22-250 barreled action only

The Savage 9317 is a sweet, accurate, bolt action rifle in the .17 HMR caliber. There are several variations to this rifle including a regular, stainless steel model, and a thumb hole stock model. There are also three styles of stocks available which include: synthetic. laminated, and walnut. Savage also produces this firearm in a left handed version for all those southpaws out there! I own the 9317 GVXP which has the 21 3/4 heavy barrel and the Walnut stock. It came supplied with a factory mounted and bore-sighted Simmons Scope. These guns also come with Savage's "accutrigger", which is adjustable from 6 down to 2.5 lbs. I love mine. These guns offer alot for not much money, and are worth every penny!
A heavy barrel has less metal removed when it is being contoured from a blank. This makes a heavy barrel have thicker walls, which allows it to absorb more heat and distort less. Heavy barrels are usually used by target shooters.
You have not yet asked a question. The Beast is an informal term used by a few private gunmakers to designate their version of a heavy caliber rifle.
It will vary with the maker of the bull barrel.
