[QUOTE="Taj, post: 2896515, member: 98000"] You are correct, Savage as do many others do straighten barrels. That creates another issue if they are not stressed relieved after straightening. When a barrel is straightened it creates stress (Compression and elongation) where the straightening bends are made. If the barrel is not stress relieved after the straightening process, the barrel will try to move back to it's original condition when it gets hot. Barrels can be cryo or heat stress relieved. If heated it is usually done in an inert atmosphere. Improper or zero stress relieveing of a straightened barrel can cause wandering groups. [/QUOTE]
