Never seen this up by the crown!

I love finding stuff like that at the crown....'cuz you know it's going to shoot better after it's fixed. :cool:
A milder example that perked right the heck up after recrowning:

The good thing is since it is a Savage, you can easily take the barrel off, cut about 1/2 inch off, recrown it and screw it back on.
I am curious enough to see if that’s all it needs, and you can get it off, send it to me, I will recrown it for you If you pay the shipping.

Let’s see if it goes back to shooting as before.
I appreciate the offer, very kind of you. if it doesn’t return to form with the sludge cleaned off I will take you up on the offer and ship it to you.
 
What kind of rifle case? The number of crowns I've seen that are fugly from being stored in those felt lined leather cases popular in the 70's-80's is too many to count. Also, storing rifles muzzle down in a safe.

But, I'd get some brushes one caliber larger and rethink your cleaning routine.
 
We need after action pics.
Post seven is the full diameter of the bore at the crown after re-cleaning. We shot a few rounds on Sunday and took some more pictures. I get those up later.


The groups were still larger than desired but had another attributable cause for that as we were playing with different recoil handling positions.
 
Full 360 of the crown after Sunday shooting/ cleaning.
