Savage 110 300 Win Mag. First shot was a "squib" (their word) and I'm assuming it fired but all was not normal. No one checked to make sure the bullet had cleared the barrel before firing round 2. Reportedly the shooter was unharmed. (but might flinch for a LONG, LONG time?  )  God Bless |

OUCH........besides scary, that looks like a fairly high dollar (is there such a thing as a "low dollar"?)barrel.
I'd probably keep one (as long as someone else blew it up and it wasn't a reminder of MY screw up, lol) and makes some kind of wall ornament out of it. Rednecks-R-Us. LOL!!
Scary stuff. If these posts only help one person do a double take when things don't seem right.....they are well worth the time to share.
I've seen a couple locals with shotgun barrels they had bulged or blown off the end from obstructions, never a rifle.
Don't wish to either.
God Bless

My buddy had this happen to his muzzleloader. Luckily all he got was some damage to his hand and some steel in his shoulder.  |

Well; at least it's a Savage, a barrel is easy to replace and stocks are no trick. Maybe manufactures of them and the X guns could use this as a selling point: blow a barrel up - no problem, just keep a spare on hand and with a couple of gauges you are back in business! biggrin2  |

I about did that when I started reloading,the first shot didn't sound right and I almost pulled the trigger again and thought,no I'd better check,sure enough the bullet was stuck in the barrel,too low of charge,it was my Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 mag. Glad I checked.
