there are instances like yours that pop up on here from time to time, and you will get alot of things to try out if you have not already gone through them. If it ends up that you did get a lemon (which I doubt) you can send it back to Savage for a replacement. I have 8 or 9 Savages and have shot many more, and none of them shoot anywhere near this bad even with the worst milsurp ammo we have. I think something is going on that can be easily fixed.
1. check the crown with a cottom swab or Qtip and make sure there are no nicks or burs.
2. if your action screws are torqued down snug, make sure one or both are not a little too long to snug the action and stock together. I've heard of action screws being a couple of threads too long, and not able to snug the stock/action together.
3. sounds like you have the bases, scope and barrel taken care of and on the right track those things.
