[QUOTE="concordshooter, post: 595207, member: 36331"] I've had good and bad with savage factory barrels, first I would do for any problem rifle if you have the ability, redo the crown, second for bedding with alum block rough it up with 80 grit paper and clean with acetone, I use devcon, but acraglass gell or jb will work just messier, mainly part to bed is the lug even with alum block, there is clearance at the lug, the problem area for savages is the rear screw hole, do what you can around the cutout, it will help just skim the blocks, you can bed 2-3 inches of the barrel, sometimes that helps sometimes not, the rear tang some say too float it some bed it, just make sure its not binding when tightening action screws down, the scope base, sometimes a reciever is too small diameter or scope base isn't right, little skim bedding under the base can do wonders on a finicky rifle, [/QUOTE]
