Take the barreled action out of the stock and roll the barrel across a flat surface. Watch the action. If it wobbles like a drunk sailor then the action barrel threads are not concentric with the action.
You could.have the threads recut but.they would be oversized and prefit barrels would not fit. I would send it back to savage
If the barrel is straight in the action then it could be a stock problem. I doubt that is the problem here though. Surely not if the barrel is not mating up with the action face correctly.
Or it could be the barrel threads. Try another barrel to be sure.
