100% spot on.jhord said:I've had similar problems w/Savages. The worst was a .223 VLP which had a curved bore in the barrel, it was off by more than 30MOA. Savage replaced the barrel and it was much better. Another one was off by about 15MOA, which was cured by the installation of a quality recoil lug. Savage certainly doesn't turn out the highest quality machine work. I'm of the opinion that if a rifle does not shoot "straight" with a known good, optically centered scope, then you need to go looking for the root cause of the problem rather than band-aid it with tapered bases and zee rings and stuff like that. Within reason of course.
