I have a Spectre II on order. I want to get my Savage MkII cut and threaded from 20in down to 16in. My main concern is, will I lose accuracy? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

So long as the gunsmith you choose to cut/thread doesn't mess the crown up, there should be no degradation of accuracy.

The Savage Mark II FV-SR comes with a threaded 16.5" bull barrel from the factory.  People rave about its accuracy with even rack grade plinking ammo, and I don't see a company as accuracy minded as Savage turning out barrels that are sub-optimally accurate for compactness.

Do a google search for above gun and read what peoples reports are.  Heck, half the precision .22s in the .22 precision rifle section photo thread are savage suppressor ready rifles.

I'd get it done yesterday

Most popular threading specs I see reading around various forums is SiCo spec 1/2x28 threads.  There is only .400 of threads in Silencercos thread specs and is thought of in the community as being the most accurate and the threads aren't too long letting the barrel "stick too far into" the suppressor mounted all the way on with the muzzle dangerously close to the blast baffle.  Theres  people that know the CNC game better than I and can explain it as such, but thats the gist.  

most places like ADCO and Ranier who thread barrels for a living most likely know what "SIlencerco thread specs" are and can take care of you accordingly.

There is currently a thread on a Savage FV-SR and its' threading right now in the suppressor section that can give you some insight

I have the same rifle. Morgan at Class III machining cut mine to 18" and SiCO specs. I'm very happy and it was pretty inexpensive

Little off topic but first thing I'd do is fix that stock.  I don't see how you're supposed to get any sort of cheekweld with them.  Kept me from buying one.
