I bought this used in .338 Win Mag and could not get it to shoot very good groups.

I put on a McGowen barrel chambered for the .416 Taylor. With the original Savage black stock that I glass
bedded I went down to the range. I had two Hornady 400 grain Round Nose going 2400 feet per second
touching and the third shot made a 1 inch group. I had fire formed 50 rounds before this. My mount screws
worked there way loose (had fingernail polish on the threads) and one screw head broke off.
So I went out and purchased a Farrell mount and epoxyed and screwed it on to the receiver. I picked
up Farrell rings and added a Stockade stock which I glassed the chamber area. Now I have to go back
down to the range and see how this set up shoots. That is a Sightron Big Sky 6x scope.
