[QUOTE="denny2, post: 390715, member: 24956"] Thanks Everyone. There is a story behind this gun. I bought this gun new about 8 or so years ago. It never shot very good groups and a friend and i made different loads trying to get better groups. I worked on the trigger and took out all the creep and it has a lighter pull. Never got it to shoot very good. I went through a divorce and didnt hunt for a few years. I finally pulled the gun out and was determined to get it to shoot better. I cleaned it,used JB in the bore and checked everything. still would not shoot a consistent group. Then my friend recommended recutting the crown. We chucked it up in a lathe and cut a little of the barrel off and then used a target crown tool to cut a new crown. While bluing the end of the barrel i noticed something strange a little bit down in the bore, the bore looked like it had some imperfection in the metal. So we started over and cut more off and recrowned it. I think there is more but the gun shoots better, but is still a little inconsistent. So this Savage is actually a "Salvage". My friend has a gun shop and called Savage and told them the dilemma, and they just said its out of Warranty now. I will probably rebarrel this gun and buy a 25-06 because I think a 25-06 wont work in this action. Sorry for being long winded!! Thanks, Dennis [/QUOTE]
