[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1961668, member: 109994"] In being nervous about not having enough time to get the gun back from savage and then have an accurate load figured out, I think I'm going to hang on to it until after their season is over.... Unless I find one if those that are on sale for $129!!! For those that asked about the other specifics: - it's a 7mm08 - I did put a new swfa scope on it a week ago. I haven't tested that scope on my '06 yet but I plan to put my scope from my '06 on the savage to verify that it's not the scope. Also, I don't think it was the scope because the group sizes are the same as they were before the scope change. I think the chances of having two scopes of different brands being "defective" that create the same group sizes it pretty small, but I'll make sure if that anyway. - in 250 rounds, there had been 1 factory cartridge that failed to fire. I don't know how common those are with Hornady factory cartridges, but the primer indent looked normal. And, all the of the firing pin indents on the primers look pretty uniform and sufficient as though it wouldn't be a light primer strike. But maybe that's not something that would be noticeable by eye. I'll also disassemble the bolt and have a look at the firing pin assembly. I recently saw JEs post about firing pin springs snaking too much in the bolt body, so that could be the issue as well. As long as the kids can reliably put a round in the vital zone on an elk at 100-150, then I think it will do for this year and they'll get some good practice on their stalking! [/QUOTE]
