[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1852671, member: 105459"] If you look at any Savage rifle to date that has used button die rifling this is the norm. I know that it looks horrible and in fact I agree ,however without the lapping and honing of your rifle barrel's bore which add cost to it's manufacture you can mitigate this to an extent by repeatedly shooting your rifle. Somewhere between 200 - 500 rounds your barrel due to bullet friction will smooth itself to a degree( It will never completely dissipate however) Having made these statements with out changing your barrel you should be fine for using this weapon as is. It will indeed suffice for hunting, target shooting etc. as Savage has produced virtually thousands of rifles just like this. (Just ask me) Believe me unless you are a blueprinted action and barrel competition shooter you won't see the difference. If you are not happy with your rifles current performance you can either change out your barrel, or start doing some serious load development. Before anything else just send some factory rounds downrange in order to remove any rough edges on your lands/grooves. Trust me your rifle will shoot better if you use JB bore paste in conjunction with Kroil Oil for your next thoroughly extended cleaning. You will have to spend some time until your patches come out clean. The end result will amaze you. Just you watch ! [/QUOTE]
