What are you're thoughts on the barrel being "untrue". Seems a bit too good to be true.



As far as "untrue", was that their explanation and fix?
I shortened an ER Shaw barrel once and noticed it had a lot of curvature in the bore. Indexed it high at 12:00 and chambered accordingly.....long story short, it shot so high that a Bushnell elite did not have enough moa (only 34 moa total) to reach zero (as your iron sights). Rather than change to Burris Sig see rings, I switched out the scope to a vortex viper with 54moa spread and I was golden.
If their "untrue" is barrel indexing then I could see it happen.
Some Savages suffer the same affliction in the horizontal caused by a combination of barrel curvature, recoil lug thickness inconsistency and sometimes the scope bases screws are not in line with the action center-line.
Keep us posted
