Thanks for taking time to read/reply.

One thing we came across has to do with an issue Savage .308 bolt actions apparently have with chamber throat depth.

Google:

savage 308 throat depth

Lot's of topics with owners reporting problems chambering/unchambering .308 match grade ammo and reporting that throat depth is an issue with a lot of savage .308 bolt actions.

One solution is to shorten OAL of the rounds or have the throat reamed.

I'm not confident this is something savage would warranty and consider out of specs.... I haven't contacted them but I'm a bit leary of sending the gun off for a month only to get it back with nothing changed.

Thoughts?
