[QUOTE="oregonreloader, post: 893175, member: 71958"] Hammer...I'm uncertain about the serial number reference you are making. The serial number of the one I had was J1770xx. Is that an "early"model? According to the various threads on various sites I've read about the B.MAG, the common denominator in those that aren't "good shooters"--those that aren't accurate--is that the forend was contacting the barrel in one or more places. It seems like once that problem gets fixed, accuracy is much improved. So, hopefully, the newly re-designed stock that my B.MAG has been equipped with (and may have already been shipped to me) will make the barrel truly free-floating and the accuracy will hopefully improve to the point that it's useful out to ~200+ yards. Before anyone buys a B.MAG, the first thing they should do is run a dollar bill between the barrel and the forend. If the paper doesn't freely slide all the way to the chamber, walk away. Alternatively, buy it new at a greatly reduced price and then ask Savage to put the new stock on it. But I'd hold off on this latter approach, too, until it's shown that fix really is the solution to the poor accuracy problem. [/QUOTE]
