[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 670437, member: 5302"] Bending a barrel to change the point of impact relative to the scope settings is a bad thing to do. As soon as it heats up from firing several shots, it'll move impact quite a bit. If the barrel could be stress releived after bending it, that may help. Otherwise, Savage may well just replace the receiver with one whose barrel tenon threads are on axis with the receiver. If the barrel is bent, I'd opt for a new receiver and refuse any barrel bending fix. [/QUOTE]
