Don't be concerned. That is typical, and as stated, most savage barrels are good to VERY good shooters. I posted a pic yesterday on a nice group that my " rough" savage barrel shot . After around 50 rounds through mine, when I go to push the first wet patch through, i have to use one hand holding my rifle ,( in my cleaning jig) , and my right hand and my hip pushing on my dewey cleaning rod to get it through, lol !
On my custom barrels, the rod goes through easily, all the time.
But, as rough as that savage barrel is, it shoots great !
