    Forgot to update. I did epoxy, lapped rings, threw an old scope on there to test and took it off and no damage. Put my burris on and shoots lights out. No issues with accuracy or damage. I was happy to have my 358 and also to harvest my biggest buck last weekend!
    Would savage do anything with it being older? Would prefer to not dump more money into it

    Haha thanks man! Always appreciate input whether I hit people up on their offers or not. I dont mean to offend anyone if I don't hit them up, I'm a guy who likes to experiment and fail and learn the hard way sometimes haha

    LIL! No.. not at all man. It wasn’t you at all. My response was actually meant “tongue in cheek”. A page & a half of all these guesses.. “I think it’s this”… “It looks like that!”. Meanwhile the very simple remedy I mentioned as the first response, because I was pretty well certain it would work, ended up doing exactly that. Sometimes it’s the simple things.

    Also, I’m never offended if I’m not taken up on an offer bud. Not at all. I enjoy doing things for members…makes a worthless, half cripple bum like me not give up & die I think.. LOL! But I get it entirely man. Sometimes a person just wants to accomplish a project in its entirety, on their own. I’ve taken that same route myself many times over. Trial by fire, as it were.

    They would replace the action with a newer round action it they did anything. You would be buying another base

    They sent me an email back asking for a little more info (serial number and such) gonna wait to hear from them and go from there. I kinda want to message a couple people on here to get it straightened but on the flip side it seems to be shooting great, regardless how much jb weld I had to use lol
