    Horrible receiver failure on Savage - NEED HELP!!!

    Re: Horrible receiver failure on Savage - NEED HELP!!! Torquing the barrel nut down will increase headspace. So my guess is that when a chamber is a touch too tight the guy on the wrench in the factory just cranks down on it some more. Instead of backing the nut and barrel off a bit. That's...

    Re: 6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel You should look into Mcgowen. I've got two of their barrels and they are great. I put 20 rounds thru my .260 when I got it and it didn't foul at all.

    Re: Horrible receiver failure on Savage - NEED HELP!!! Some Savages come with the barrel nut installed by a gorilla. The trick is to NOT use an action wrench. What you do is put the barrel nut wrench on then get a crescent wrench and put that on the recoil lug at about a 60 degree angle to...
