[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 506216, member: 2736"] Apparently you have been offended by my post and I am truly sorry, but the fact remains that every Savage I have worked on has Improved dramatically, Whether it was the shoulder make up or just the care of truing every part possible. I am retired and have no ax to grind with Savage,and only build a few rifles a year because I enjoy doing it.In fact Savage is one of the favorites to work on because it can be improved and the owners are allways very happy. Some of these rifles are known shooters and the owners just want them to shoot better. The last one was a consistant 1/4 MOA rifle and is now a 1/10 MOA. I don't know how to measure how much flex a barrel or the connection has (You stated something like .003) but I do know how to make it consistant and as solid as possible and the proof is in the accuracy and the consistency. The only brand that I have not figured out 100% of the time is the Ruger with the angled recoil lug. Some have and I bare no malice against them just because I can't make them perform to my standards every time,But I just don't feel comfortable guarantying 1/2 MOA on them. But I do on the Savages. Depending on the barrel length and weight I will add bedding up to 1" in front of the recoil lug for More support and with the barrel nut you cant bed this area and all of the support that you are supposed to get from it limited by the threaded length the rest is a sleeve to cover the threads and offers no support. So I will continue doing what I do until such time I find a better way to improve accuracy. It is a judgement call and If I am accountable for the accuracy of my work I do not use the barrel nut and if a person wants me to leave the barrel nut I will, I just won't guarantee accuracy of 1/2 MOA or less. I hope this explains the reason I recommend doing away with the barrel nut and what I base my opinion on. Real world experience Again :Sorry if my opinion differs with yours. Nothing personal.
