Mr Mom,

     That looks as nice as a remington, should still shoot like a savage though.

      I read on 24hr that the barrel nut (although uglier than the devil) is inherintly a more accurate way to align the barrel and action than what others use.. therefore the accuracy that Savage has.

   Interesting thought.

King,

    Actually it's the opposite, I listen ... and can repeat it.  That doesn't mean I beleive it.. that is unless of course I say I beleive before the statement.

    My self I've never seen the mating surfaces between the barrel and action on a Savage, but the buggers can shoot the pants of most other rifles right out of the box.  .. (I do beleive that).

     I'm more apt to beleive that what effects rifle accuracy is the harmonics or flexing that results from the cumulative metal stress and bends as the bullet passes down the barrel.

     That being said, maybe the outside anchor of a barrel nut helps focus the pressure points more evenly than a screw in job.  I'll have to think about that one, but without any idea of the mating surfaces it ain't gonna get me much.

If that WERE true, ALL the mfgrs would be doing it, as I said before. That's a bullshit assumption on your part then. I have NEVER heard ANYONE but you ever say that. But then, I'm not near as gullible.................................................Kin gpin

Maybe that's why your lost with a GPS, compass, and map. If your barrel has a bend in it, it's not right, send it back to wherever you bought it.

How many do you own? If I believed that, that's all I'd own. There is a difference in beliefs and knowledge. The difference is you believe whatever people tell you. I know better. Also, you forgot to put the "I do believe that" in front of that statement................Kingpin

Dave,

I certainly agree with the comment on Ruger.  I've got some.  they are nicely finished great bluing and walnut.  But Bill's need for a "new design" gave us a piece of crap.  Both the angled screw and the proprietary scope mounts suck.
