...They found the really special handloads fit just fine in the Savage, and at the range found the Savage shot just as well as the super-custom rifle...
But will that stop people from tinkering with rifles before they're shot for the first time? Heck no!
The old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." does not apply to most firearms owners.
In their defense, it hasn't been too many years since a virtual rebuild was required for brand new, factory rifles to shoot worth a darn. That, and nowadaze everyone figures if their rifle, regardless of cartridge or action type, won't bug hole, it's broken.
