Obviously with the cap or a brake on it there is no need for a nice recess.
Someone that has one of these can weigh in if that is normal appearance.
Its not neat but its also normally covered up.
I saw some experiment that beat the daylight out of the muzzle and shot ok to pretty good. This looks ok but not public presentation intended.
I think where it can go bad is if the barrel itself is worn on the end and the bullet gets odd existing.
I don't see excessive copper, there will be some and savage has a pretty rough buttoning operation.
Just buying parts is not going to solve this. Worst rings will still shoot 1 inch if the setup can do that.
You may have a bad barrel, if the bases and all the scope screws, action screws and stock clearance is ok time to contact Savage.
