[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 914750, member: 51650"] The extra 1" is worth maybe 30 fps. I would not change rifles for that. Every bolt gun out there needs to be torqued into the stock correctly. Try more and then less and see if it matters. I have a Savage Weather Warrior in 375 Ruger and I guarantee it is free floated. The AccuStock has a full length aluminum block from tang to fore end tip and I crushed some plumber's putty balls in mine and it has 1/4" clearance around most of the barrel. I needed to know if I could stuff the strain gauge connector (for chamber pressure measurements) under the barrel for hunting. It has plenty of room. If you scrub your barrel clean the first- cold bore- shot usually goes somewhat outside the group. I usually shoot about 3-5 rounds through a clean bore and dry patch the bore before putting the rifle away for a hunting trip. I try to do that not more than two days ahead though, even if I just dump the rounds into a dirt pile up close. I would buy another Savage in a heart beat. They are not custom rifles but for off the rack grade they shoot great and the trigger is pretty good. In every comparison of like-caliber bolt guns from the different makers I have read in magazines over the last 15 years or so the Savage is usually the most accurate with factory ammo of the makers tested. They put out a good product made in the USA. They claim the fastest lock time of all and that can help your marksmanship. My $0.02 KB [/QUOTE]
