Torque tuning the rear action screw can make a huge difference in your group size. Go here to read how: http://www.accurateshooter.com/techn...torque-tuning/

I have 3 savage rifles and all respond very well to this technique. I keep a torque wrench in my shooting bag and check torques before each range session. Action screws will sometimes loosen up while shooting, so if your groups suddenly start opening up, check the torque, and if necessary, add blue locktite to the threads to prevent loosening.
