[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1884907, member: 64108"] I feel for you but I think the overwhelming sentiment was to cut your losses and polish or ream the chamber yourself and avoid all the delay and drama. Somebody here said in another thread "why would you send it back to the people who screwed it up the first time ?" At the time I thought it was a stupid thing to say but it seems better to handle it yourself and take a loss and learn a lesson. No way I was going to send 3 guns back to Remington for a trigger replacement with an 8 month backlog. Drop $100 on a Timney, problem solved. BTW Savage barrels look like they ran a tap down them but somehow mine manage to shoot very well. I'm not sure what the bullet looks like or how much of it was left in the barrel when it gets there but it seems to work. I generally buy used Savage 110, 111, 116's used for $300-$400 from GB and rebarrel/build off those, hard to go wrong. Sorry Savage screwed you, what route will you take next time with XXX brand(obviously not Savage) ? And thanks for posting the whole story also ! [ATTACH type="full"]189430[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
