well after complaining about bore fouling after only 7 shots, my rifle buddies here on THR told me to first:contact savage and secondolish the bore(break-in).. I did both. savage claims break-in is good but not needed, so I polished the bore with JB bore polish and BINGO. the 4 shot groups cloverleaf @ 75yds, and it took 12 shots before the fouling started.(initially my groups were real tight then scattering all over the paper after 6-7shots). I never had a NEW centerfire rifle before and didn't think any special preperation was required. nowadays the factories spend much less time on individual guns and this may be especially true with an economy rifle like savage. real pleased with the gun now and maybe if I had spent more the bore would have already been polished by the factory.
