Savage 110 question

[mjm]

I've been shooting some 22lr rifles for a couple months now and just bought a Savage 110 in .270 to try and prepare myself for next years deer season. I noticed that the barrel seems to rattle slightly if the gun in shaken. Is this typical or do I have a problem with my rifle? I know the 110 has a floating barrel , but I guess I didn't expect it to be noticable.

Remove the bolt and the box magazine if its not an internal one and give it another shake.

Did it rattle? Maybe its the spring and follower in the magazine.

My 110 doesnt rattle a bit.

Well, I'm clearly having one of those days. I never tightened the take down screw all the way. Guess I answered my own "not so bright" question. Thanks for the previous quick reply though.
