Savage support in-house procedures for checking accuracy?

[wahoowad]

Anybody know the specifics of how Savage performs their in-house checking of firearms returned for suspected rifle issues?

Do they shoot it first to confirm the customer complaint?
Do they perform any specific quality assurance checks of the barrel, action, bolt, etc?
Would they pull the barrel and reinstall?

I returned a Model 10 .243 for a suspected problem. It was returned with a 100 yard target showing an extremely tight 3 shot group. I don't know what (if anything) was done. The barrel has a mark as if it was gripped tightly in some device. They listed the ammo as Federal 70gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip and I gotta get some of those!

From what I have been told, Savage has in the second story of there shop, a indoor 100 yard range. The do a visual inspection of the rifle then test fire it. They set the rifle in a rest with a 4 power scope and test fire it. If it passes that test, they send it back, if it doesn't they look for the problem. If there is a problem they fix the problem and then test fire it again, this is done until the problem/s are all fixed.
