I hope thats not the case, I have a '90 Chevy Sport with a 350 and 5-speed with a 150k on it and it runs like a scalded rabbit.

Olddav, I am not sure of how much time you have spent with this exact rifle, but is it just possible you are getting more used to it? I had similar results with my 12FV 308 when I first got it. Not that extreme, I started at about 1.5" and shrunk to .5" and below. It still hold .5" and less and this is the only Savage I own that's un-modified, and was my first accu-trigger. I just chalked it up to learning the gun/trigger.

I dunno, just spit balling here.....
