We Savage nuts have a hard time leaving a factory gun alone. It sounds like someone has replaced the factory barrel with either a factory or aftermarket barrel in a different caliber. I only have two Savages that still have their original factory barrels on them. A good Savage mechanic will not mar the barrel nut when changing the barrel. Enjoy the rifle and don't worry about the fact that it doesn't add up to Savage's factory records.
