[QUOTE="Blkrflguy, post: 2285287, member: 116381"] Thanks. It's really been a headache with Savage the last 2 years. I have two older Model 10T's both in 308 and are two of the most accurate rifles I have. Both were half min out of the box with factory ammo. And with my hand loads are .25-.35" (5 shot groups). Both were bought between 2012-2014. But these last 3 guns aren't even close and cost twice as much. I've got a thread of emails back and forth with them. They took the last two rifles back and tested them and both failed their accuracy standard of 1". These 110's were a year apart in manufacturing. I provided pictures, data, etc. Even showed them my load over my magnetospeed. I had a SD of 5.3 and ES OF 14. I've learned how to find loads pretty quick the last few years. I've put almost 200 rounds down this last gun they sent trying different seating depths, charges, you name it. And it won't even shoot into an inch. The first two in 110 HC wouldn't shoot into 2". I had a NF ffp on them that was mounted on another gun that shoots! So I knew it wasn't the scope. I believe they've lost some of their focus on the foundations of good rifle building. They don't seem to care about not polishing chambers, or good barrels and instead have traded their focus for stocks with camo patterns with built-in adjustable cheek risers and length of pull while trying to sell at the same price as competitors when they should be focused on adding these features for an additional amount.
