I bought a brand new savage 25 classic in 223. I bought it about 6 months ago... put an 18X scope on it and took it to the range and put about 40 rounds worth of PMC bronze 55grn trying to sight in the scope from sand bags. I was grouping at about 6 inches at 50 yards. I was completely disappointed with the experience and shelved it :-\. I've been meaning to shoot it again to prove or disprove if it was just a bad day or a bad rifle... but it feels like a chore. I live in the city and shoot pistol twice a month. but I have to drive out of town to get to a rifle range to shoot rifle cartridges. I keep putting it off..

anyway... this rifle hums like a tunning fork after I fire it. is that normal? my 10-22 doesn't do it and my marlin 1894 doesn't do it, but they rattle :P. anyway, this is my first bolt action rifle.
