[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1896496, member: 28965"] The vast majoriry of Savage rifles shoot very well, "BUT" the rail road tracks in the barrel can pickup copper. You can fire lap the barrel, you can scrub the heck out of it with J&B Bore paste or just shoot heck out of it and break it in that way. And my point is with rough factory barrels and old milsurp barrels I have very good luck with foam bore cleaners. Because in a rough barrel the copper bore brush it will drive you nuts with false copper readings. If you have a custom made hand lapped barrel it would be a different story. Meaning less is more when scrubbing factory barrels because they can be very rough. And why one shot of foam bore cleaner is good enough for me. The first time you pull the trigger again on one of these barrels they just load up with copper again. In the old time stories about hunting in Africa they would just pour boiling water down the bore, This got rid of the primer salts and carbon and then they just ran a oiled patch down the bore.
