Yep, the Op is listening and yes it is already is on its way back. While I do appreciate everyone's input, that bore is unacceptable to me. I did come up with a load that shot well but after only a few groups accuracy started to suffer. That is why I scoped it. Copper fouling was bad after less than 30 rounds and took a lot of elbow grease to clean out. I have owned several Savage rifles in different calibers and this is the only one that had a bore like this. I only had one barrel like this and it was a Lother Walther, which they agreed was not acceptable and replaced it. Pretty sure Savage will replace the barrel as the lady I talked to, saw the pics I sent and agreed it looked like bad chatter.
Anyway, looking forward to getting it back, in the mean time I may buy another Savage to keep me busy.
