[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1933349, member: 3728"] This is the absolute truth! Good bronze bristle brushes do the work on getting out stubborn Carbon. Many products will get out the copper. So, you know the new norm for this barrel. One poster suggested that you get a Teslong bore scope, and that is World Class advise! Savages will shoot very well, but they are tough to keep running at their best accuracy due to rough barrels. I have had some very, very good shooting savages, but they had frequent cleaning intervals to get their best accuracy of sub 1/2" at 100 yards. Accuracy usually went from 1/2" to 1 3/4" at or before the 20 round mark. Rough tooling makes for knooks and crannies for powder fouling and copper to build up in. JB Compound, is your friend on tight fitting patches on a punch type of jag, not a slotted jag. A product called Rem Clean is pretty aggressive on these rough barrels. Don't be discouraged, get a Teslong bore scope, and you will learn in a hurry how to keep your barrel running at peak accuracy. [/QUOTE]
