[QUOTE="jrw1976, post: 581154, member: 24286"] Do you know if the smith replaced the stock recoil lug with a good machined one? I have had this happen also and what I came up with was since I cheaped out and didnt upgrade the recoil lug the barrel nut and action wasnt making consistent contact with the lug because stock savage recoil lugs are nowhere near truely flat. I believe the inconsistent recoil lug is why savage has to torque the barrel nuts so darn tight from the factory. It is just a theory but I havent had it happen again since I remedied the problem as I saw it. Jason [/QUOTE]
