My MkIIBTV has developed a problem with tumbling bullets. My gunsmith says it must be the crown but I've been careful not to put any deformed bullets in the gun. Still the way the gun feeds it's possible to mutilate soft lead I suppose. I've used a microscope to check the outside of the crown and I can't see any problems. I still have some time left on my warranty.

I was just wondering if I'd be better off just to go ahead and have the barrel re-crowned or whether I should ship it back to Savage. I believe it's possible that it could be some other problem besides the crown but I'm no gunsmith. Mainly I just hate to be without my MkII for a week or two or however long it takes.

Any helpful comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Should I send it back to Savage?
