First off I simply like to offer a little counterargument to these threads, Savage does turn out turds on occasion.
As far as your irrevelant comments, #1, I have good reason to doubt that my handloads were the fault.
#2 Have you ever heard of the Null hypothesis of statistics. How it basically worksis we take a statement like "all savages are good shooters"and assume it is true. This implys that the possility of finding an inacurate savage rifle a very slim probability. When a sample is taken of the population at large (in my case a model 11fns .308), and the resultis very different from what we would expect given the assumption,along withthe slim probability of such a result given the assumption, suggests that the assumption itself is false.
Basically, Savage does produce lousy shooting rifles on occasion.
CMA, my apologizes, it turns out I was making the irrelevent statements, and you are right, every rifle company puts out a clunker now and then, I remember my Tikka T-3 that I traded off which woudln't hold a 3" group at 100 yards. Again my apologies.
