[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 422000, member: 9736"] Couple things I would check - First one is shoot it off a bench rest style front rest tucked back close to the barrel nut. The forend of those stocks is pretty floppy with most of them I have seen able to easily touch the barrel. If that doesn't work take the rings and bases off and reinstall them yourself. That way you know everything is tight. When you dry fire it how does it sound? Hard smack or a soft click? I had one that the firing pin spring barely hit the primer causing horrible ignition problems and terrible accuracy. Good factory ammo? 10 inch group is horrible so I would expect the problem to be substantial. If none of this works call Savage and they should fix it for you. I would think it is something like a crooked chamber or some other serious defect. Let us know what you find. [/QUOTE]
