[QUOTE="3800fps, post: 1701926, member: 42309"] I've got 4 Savages...2 stainless 2 blue...ALL show consistent reamer marks in their barrels...ugly magnified... All 4 are excellent shooters (bedded in a proper gunstock) No break-in ritual per se...these cheap ugly Savages shoot only slightly less accurate than the custom rifles I own (early Coopers, Krieger and Lothar Walthar barreled guns) 3/4 " or less for Savage vs 1/2" often less custom, all handloads. We love to play with our toys...breaking in makes a guy feel proactive...I'm convinced it's more psychological ritual than necessary... [/QUOTE]
