..............I think I posted about getting this rifle late last year. Synthetic stock, accu-trigger. Way out of character for me. Anyway it had a bad bore. Truth to tell I never bothered to do anything with it except to fireform 100 rounds. Why I even did that I don't know as I knew the bore was rough and planned on sending it back to Savage.
If you wonder why it took about 9 months for me to get around to it, you just don't know me :-) I can dither and procrastinate with the pros. I also never did bother sighting in the scope so I don't really know how the rifle might have shot. Don't ask, it's a long dull story with no redeeming qualities.
Savage had it about 3 weeks and I got it back 2 days ago. It had a new barrel on it. The old one looked like the button had chattered all the way down. I guess it slipped thorugh QC and mentioned in my enclosed letter I was a bit disappointed.
Included with the returned barreled action was a firing report with test target.

Three rounds at 100 yards = .441". Not too shabby, eh? Ammo was listed as Federal 168gr Sierra Match King HPBT. Of course I don't know how it would have shot before, but it couldn't have been much better.
