I would call Savage and ask. Several years ago Savage did .223's on a long action and I had one of their stainless fluted varmint barrels that was the same way. I called Savage and they said it was intentional and that "it improved accuracy." So much for that explanation! If the barrel is to SAAMI specifications, then it leaves you no alternative other than an aftermarket barrel chambered to your specifications relative to the throat length. There are guys on the site that shoot the 6 BR so they will have some answers for you.
