I just received a new 12 F/TR chambered in 308.
I was horrified when I looked down the barrel.
It is rings for as far as I can see down the barrel. I don't know if it is tool chatter or leftover from the drilling operation. The lands look very very shallow and it measures about .302 on my muzzle gauge.
What the heck...over? I expected so much after hearing so many good reports and what I received enforces every bad thing I ever heard about Savage QC.
I have not fired the rifle and it will be headed back to Savage shortly for either a new barrel or an exchange rifle.
I'm confident that they will make it right but EXTREMELY dissapointed that something like this could even get out the door.

I know 1st post and all. I will take some pics before I box the rifle back up.
