I have never had any rifle, rimfire or centerfire, shoot this bad with any ammo. Just bought a well-used Rem 510 that will outshoot this thing no matter what it's fed. Rifling at the muzzle end looks like the tool chattered during cutting. (Chatter marks are in the new Savage. Not the 510)
I have no doubt that the vast majority are very accurate. My neighbor has a 17 HMR Savage that is quite impressive.
On a good note, when visiting the same shop today I picked up a used CZ 452 17HMR that looks like new at a very reasonable price. Now I have a tuning project if the Savage is MIA for a while.
