[QUOTE="Educated Redneck, post: 1344036, member: 84387"] Switched to long action and never looked back. Threw the SA in the garbage. Selling the original barrel from both guns, both scopes that came with the guns new, stock, the SA bolt all on eBay and got a rebate on the new gun which was on sale. Was a about a $100 price of tuition after all the hassle! **** second action has malaligned scope mount holes though. Mounted and lapped the scope twice now with different rings and mounts and ran out of windage adjustment both times. Fixed with Burris signature zee and 20 moa inserts. Stripping several of thes guns and comparing weights of a savage long action and bolt vs SA and bolt made me realize I was chasing a rabbit. Only 4 oz difference and the lightweight versions are only 2oz less than those. New LA 6.5x284 Shehane is still sub 8lbs scoped (swaro Z5 5-24x52) which meets my Mountain rifle goal I suppose.
