[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 443129, member: 25383"] I think you've found the problem! The barrel's bore is tighter at the chamber end than the muzzel, and that's a no no! I'd try running a patch thry the first four or five inches of the throat end that's coated with 800 grit lapping compound. Give it about six or eight strokes, and then clean the barrel. Lube it and run a couple tight patches thru it again (might try and keep track where the tight spots are now. If it's still tight, I'd try lapping it again for about five or six strokes. If it's still tight you may have to do it a couple more times. If it's still tight after four lapping sessions, I'd send the rifle back for a new barrel. Savage is pretty good about their warranty work, so I wouldn't worry too much there. You good have the dealer ship back to them with a letter explaining the issues gary [/QUOTE]
