Newtosavage,

Thanks for the good info. I am also completely new to Savage. I bought a Savage 10 7.62x39 Scout on Gun Broker yesterday. I hope to have it by the end of next week.

Does the barrel nut on your Scout have the current square notches or does it have the old style radiused notches. Since I plan to immediately change the barrel, I wanted to go ahead and order a barrel nut wrench. I want to make sure that I get the correct one.
