[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1955888, member: 40749"] It looks to me that the barrel steel in your savage is decaying at the muzzle. It appears to have a sandblasted appearance which is indicative of inclusions in the barrel steel - a fault from the mill, not the barrel maker. There is no real fix for this, the barrel will lose accuracy very quickly as the bullet becomes unstable at the crown and does not exit consistently. If it is what I think it is, a new barrel will be needed. [/QUOTE]
