[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 220333, member: 4885"] Thanks, The 300WSM barrel (the original savage barrel) shoots really well. I shot a a few groups under 1/2" with it and the original stock, but that stock has so much flex, it was a challenge to hold it the same every time. With the heavier stock, it is easy to shoot 1/2" groups and I get down under .3" center to center once in a while. To tell you the truth, .3" is probably MY limitation, not the rifles. I don't remember how much the stock was. The only accurizing I've done is replaced the crappy recoil lug with one from savage shooters supply and correctly headspaced the barrel. I had a friend of mine face the boltface, as it was a bit cupped and made the brass look like there was pressure signs. I've been debating about getting a .223 barrel and boltface for the savage, then I'd have a really cheap practice round. AJ [/QUOTE]
