[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 796267, member: 35183"] Hopefully you have a good barrel on yours. If not, get a Shilen... You will probably need a good bedding job to extract the most out of that rifle and the barrel is a bit short but it should certainly reach out there a ways... There have been a lot of complaints about the quality of barrels on the long range hunters and the 6.5 Creedmoor rifles. Sounds like Savage does not have the kinks out of their 6.5 rifling tooling. My 6mm model 12 barrel was pretty good, just did not have the right twist to facilitate shooting the long VLD's so I had change the barrel anyway. The one benefit of getting a factory 26" varmint barrel is that when you sell it you get back about half of what you pay for a high quality prefit. [/QUOTE]
