Made some mods to my set-up. The TPS rings were a bit too tall so I swapped them out for some low Badger rings and it worked out well. The trigger tested out at 8oz., which is too light for me, but I took it out as is. I had a box of Win. Match and American Eagle match. The 100yd. accuracy was rather disappointing. It shot maybe an inch at best. Part of it was getting adjusted to the trigger. Honestly it seemed to get better the farther out I went. Shooting at a steel silhouette at 200 I called a heart shot just to get a feel for the drop, which I am not familiar with. Low a few inches. Adjusted the elevation and hit the spot. Took 2 head shots which were maybe an inch apart. Switched to a 6" steel plate at 523yds. First shot was high. Made adjustment and hit the steel just below center. Next two shots were 1-1/2 inches below just about in the same hole. Then the wind started to pick up pretty well, so I just called it a day. I only had 5 rounds left anyway. Was pretty disappointed when I brought it home and started to clean it up well. It looked as though it had enough copper in it to make another bullet. I tried three different bore cleaners and must have brushed the bore 100 or more times. There's still copper in the bore, so I took a look with a borelight down the barrel. There are fine milling marks inside the barrel, and when I say milling marks I mean it looks as if they were going to thread a bolt in there. Granted, they were very fine marks, but I can't imagine such is conducive to accuracy. I had hand lapped the bore 45 times with US bore paste then cleaned the barrel with Montana extreme prior to shooting. The marks make getting the copper out pretty difficult. I tried Montana Extreme, Hoppes Elite, and Butch's Bore shine. I'm maybe half way to getting the copper out. I hate thinking about using Sweet's on a new barrel, but I may have to. I've seen some rather ratty looking barrels shoot very well, but I've never seen a condition such as this. I'll put together some loads and see if I can get it to settle down, but I'm considering calling Savage to hear what they have to say. What's your opinion? Like to hear what you have to say.
