[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2603845, member: 87243"] The difference is you have one that will do that. My family has gone through three different savage 6.5 creedmoor's that had unusable chambers from the factory, all purchased from different places, because they looked like this - [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190329_104525.jpg"]389191[/ATTACH] One couldn't even chamber a round, the two others wouldn't extract a round, or had very hard extraction and would scratch the case. None of them would eject the cartridge after a real gunsmith fixed the chamber issue, the case would just fall out of the boltface in the raceway. And of the 3 other savages I have had or worked on, one .308 win and two 6.5x284's, two of them had crooked chambers, to the point the rifling came to the case mouth on one side, and and about .75" of freebore on the other, both of the 6.5x284's. They shot about .75-1 MOA after extensive load work on a good day. They managed to not screw up the .308 win, it was a consistent .5-.75 MOA gun with good loads if I did it right. My custom/semi custom guns are all consistent half moa or less if I do my job right. I'm assuming I have just had a stint of bad luck with them, however I am pretty much done with them other than building off of actions. My uncle got one of the savages with a proof barrel, I believe proof cuts the chamber for them though. It looked pretty good and shot well also, but also fails to eject spent cartridges. [/QUOTE]
