I called my smith today to see how my rifle was coming along(rechambering my 300WM savage to a 7mm WSM,true action etc.),and he said he thought it had a soft reciever,but he will shoot it next week and see what's going on.He said if he doesn't like what he see's,he will have to put a new reciever on.Is this very common on Savage's,or did I just get a rare lemon?
