[QUOTE="hawk45, post: 1243892, member: 27634"] Thanks for the background. Have you checked the stock with a dollar bill to make sure it's not touching and floated? Rest it in some bags or on your bipod. With no pressure on the barrel, run a bill from muzzle to action. If anything touches, note were and get a barrel sized dowel, wrap it in sandpaper and make a few passes. Check again. If all is floated, now try with a little downward pressure on the muzzle of the barrel. This will simulate loading the bipod. If touches now, remove more material in the barrel channel. Might also look at trying some different torque specs on the action screws or for burs in the action or action area of the stock. But if you want a new stick, b/c nothing wrong with that either, I'd probably go with the Tikka. Savages are nice, but heavier usually a little clunkier just due to the floating bolt head. Which is a great piece of technology and why makes them great shooters. But everything with the Tikka is so nice. Awesome barrel and trigger, which are the most important parts. Stock isn't that bad, it' better than any other budget stock IMO. Best of luck brother! [/QUOTE]
