[QUOTE="WideEagle, post: 1534467, member: 107909"] Playing with action screws and getting good results can be a good sign the bedding is not so great from the start. Having used Devcon Liquid Steel many times you can get a solid bed allowing you to torque screws as tight as you would ever need. Free floating a barrel does not always work but usually is an improvement. On a Savage I would recommend a small pressure point in front of receiver as one easy check. If you handload pay attention to bullet ogive and distance from lands. That simple step in reloading can result in incredible differences in groups. Since you are using a belted cartridge the bullet length becomes another way to get consistent pressures. If you reload there is no reason not to have a one hole group from a Savage stock barrel. Just takes time at the range. Lots of time. [/QUOTE]
