I recently picked up a Savage 64 with bull barrel for a good price. I then purchased a trigger kit, Boyd's stock and Harris bipod and barrel clamp. The Boyd's stock is the Barracuda model and does not have any sling mounts for the bipod.
Took the rifle to the range using the bipod and a rear sand bag with 12 brands of ammo and found and it shot CC standard velocity at 0.75 inches at 50 yards and Aquila Super Match at nearly a one hole group.
Moved to 100 yards and loaded three shots into magazine and first two would shoot next to each other and the third would be 3 inches low and to the right. I then loaded four into the magazine and first three would be close and fourth low and to the right at 3 inches. The gun does not jam when using the magazine. Then loaded one round at a time without magazine and 3 shots went into a 0.75 inch group.
Does it seem the problem perhaps is the follower keeping the bullet a little high and perhaps it is being distorted going into the chamber on the last shot? Any suggestions what is occurring and how to fix it?
Thanks
Robert
