Took the TR back to the shop and they agreed that the rifling is messed-up. They are sending it back to Savage.
Sucks not having a new gun that I just bought, but the 452 looks like it will make up for it. 2 shots to get on target at 50 yards. Next three were .35" using a tractor tire for a rest. And it was $130 less than the Savage!
