[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2063079, member: 116037"] RuninL8 has a really good point, especially barrel harmonics. That's one subject that kinda gets overlooked a lot? I have 2 Savage B-Mags, one of which is an early "pencil barrel" that actually shot pretty good when new. In the past year, it's accuracy fell off considerably. I sent it back to Savage for accurizing and they did miracles with it. It all had to do with the barrel harmonics. The original thin barrel was 26 inches, when I got it back it was shortened to 21 Inches and recrowned. Now I'm getting 1/2" moa, better than when new! At first, I thought they re-barreled it but the new rifles come with a 22-inch barrel, and I also had a few scratches on the old barrel which are still there. My guess is the barrel was so long and thin it was like a tuning fork!! Over the years the original barrel developed a "warp" and/or "nodes" from so many rounds being put thru it, or bent from me doing something stupid maybe? If you have that type of problem Savage does a very good job rectifying it, and usually at no charge? [/QUOTE]
