[QUOTE="Educated Redneck, post: 1344280, member: 84387"] Nope I am not sure and it's why I love this forum and learning about long range shooting as a hobby. I learn so much. So to your point, I'm working on four savage prfit guns on the cheap(ish) for an upcoming group elk hunt and have them pretty much dialed in. All savage with wildcat barrels. Two pacnor and two from a new carbon fiber company. All shoot 1/2 moa as of today with the carbons being very accurate despite my complaints below and many customer service issues. That said, both carbon barrels have the same chamber and have the same problem. Both are savage prefits and both are 20moa high and 20 moa right (approximately) like I said, I ran out of windage and nearly on downward elevation. I fixed both with the Burris inserts 20moa front compensating for vertical and 20 in back for windage. It's odd to me both barrels have same windage and elevation problem. Pacnor do not. My assumptions are that both carbon barrels have malaligned threading. I also assume that both barrels are screwed in to head space very near identical. If not, a half turn more would mean exactly the opposite in accuracy (20 moa low and 20 moa left). Anyway, I'm learning and I think I'm convinced as Hired Gun said, there's likely something else going on (bad barrel threading). All else is equal. All guns are new savages.
