[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 542861, member: 22335"] Did you float the tang (i.e. not bed the rear portion aft of the rear action screw) of the action on that Savage? If not, that may be where your problem lies. I don't think that now bedding the first 4 inches of the barrel will get you what you're looking for. And, it's tough to bed the barrel and not have it a bit to high or too low compared to your action if you don't do them at the same time. Not impossible, just more difficult. Also, I can't tell by your narrative if the Savage or the Rem has the laminated stock. If the Savage has a plastic stock, then what you've seen may be as good as it gets until you replace the stock.
