Hennie, how far back on the barrel is the free floating? My Mk II was doing the same and almost to that extent. I made sure the barrel was not touching back to the step in the barrel, that helped. I have been told that sometimes with 22 ammo, it may be necessary to shoot 15-20 rounds thru the barrel every time you change brand, before shooting for groups. The coatings on different brands affects accuracy, or so I was told. Check screw torque on the action screws, that was my major problem, I have talked to Savage and was told 30-35 inch pounds on my laminated stock but that seems awful strong. I backed off to about 20 Inch pounds and torqued with a wrench. My gun is much better now approximately 1/2 by 3/4 inch at 50 yds. BTW what part of Namibia are you in? My wife and I were in your country for a plains game hunt about 5 years ago, If I wasn't so old we would love to make another trip.
