I just bought a used savage model 112 in a .223 which was made around 1994. It says "competition model" on it. The barrel near the muzzel end has a step down (is about 1/8 in smaller than the rest of the barrel and is about two inches long) what is the reason for the step down? thanks, joe.

  joes,
  
  It's a concentric cylinder turned to a specific diameter to mount long range iron sights for competitions such as Palma.
  
  Best.
  
  ADDED:
  
  I knew I had a picture somewhere...
  
  
  
  Best.
