I got my rifle back from Savage yesterday Jan 14, 2015 after about 6 weeks and it seems that they replaced the barrel. I called and asked what the problem was but apparently they don’t give out that info. They test fire with the 140gr A-Max and those never grouped well for me. After the new barrel was installed they got 0.7" groups at 100 yards. I never got that that kind of accuracy with the factory rounds before so I guess it’s an improvement. I’ll dial that in with hand-loads.
I hope that they replaced the barrel because it was out of alignment and not because of grouping issues. I'll find out when I take it to the range.
I'm going to skip the barrel break in process this time though. Savage says it isn't necessary, it's time consuming and costly.
