    Savage 12BVSS Barrel Problem

    Bought a Savage 12BVSS in 22-250 this weekend. During the initial cleaning, I did not notice that there was any problem due to the fact that I was using a rather loose patch...17-22 cal. There is a Void or a place of excess clearance in the middle of the barrel. I can push a .224 patch...

    Bedding Marlin 917vs

I had to just move it back...
