Well, I own three Savage rifles, and all three of them are the most accurate, out of the box factory rifles that I've ever owned (and I've owned a pile of long arms over the years.) I own a 110 in '06 and it is, with the proper reload, the most accurate centerfire rifle I've ever owned. I would say that the rifle you are talking about has some problems that the other fellas here suggested. Something is definitely amiss!
