[QUOTE="diriel, post: 520590, member: 26983"] 1 moa is not even close to adequate for me. I am beyond glad that my 1st ever custom savage pre-fit is finally pretty much shot out. I have hated that barrel from day one. I can tell you one thing, I will never do business with the "fine folks" who sold me that savage pre-fit. "Oh, you ARE geting 1moa? Good, we never said you would get under 1 moa, have a nice day!" ...Do what?? I did NOT spend $400 on a super select match pre-fit only to get 1moa!! Hell my original savage barrel would do 3/4 moa easy enough, AND it cleaned up better. Not to mention it fouled less. What JE said about chambers... is exactly what bit me in the ***. I will throw out a Two Thumbs up for Bob Jourdan though! He cut a new 6.5x55 BJAI chamber on that barrel for me, and suddenly it was dead easy to get well under 1moa from just about any load i tossed at it. That still didn't do anything for how quickly it would copper foul. I had 2 savage factory sticks at the time, and both would clean up in half the time as compared to that super select match. So, yeah, it is time to re-barrel, but I am **** Shy about ordering another pre-fit due to the problems I had with my first one. Just so you all know, I have been reloading for over 20 years, and for the first 5 or so years i prided myself on being able to make ANY rifle shoot MOA or less as long as it was in good general condition. That **** savage pre-fit was the absolute hardest I have EVER had to work at getting one to shoot. It took me over 500 rounds, and about a month of sweating and cussing to get it dialed in. Ok, sorry for the rant, but this touched a nerve. Good luck. Gary [/QUOTE]
