[QUOTE="Hard Head, post: 2884049, member: 91079"] I had a Savage Precision Elite in .338 Lapua and could not get it to shoot,traded it off and got another Savage Precision this time.........................24" barrel vs. 30" a lot liter. I was having trouble getting it to shoot,then did the smart thing.........despite being so called blue printed it had 2 flaws,first the rear action screw was too long and was binding the action a little,then I watched the rear tang while tightening, it would move down,so I shimmed it with a pepsi can cut to position,it worked perfect, Now the barrel heats up fast about 3-4 shots and groups suffer. Was shooting Hornady's 300 ATIP with 105.5 LRT. Decided to see what twist was in it, I have done the very tight barrel twist patch with marks, brass brush method and lose type, All came up the same measurement...............................1 in 8.5????????????????????????????????
