I've got the one with laminated stock & the bull barrel. I've had it about 1 month, and my groups are right around 1/2" at 50 yards.

I've just been using the cheapo Remington lead round nose brick ammo., though. My plan is to pick up several different brands in the near future, & figure out which one it likes best.

I'd advise trying a few brands of ammo., & if the groups don't tighten-up, get ahold of Savage. It seems like that posts I've read about the company suggest that they'd take care of the problem.

Good luck,
