I bought a Savage Walking Varminter in 223 for 650.00 at Gander. It would cut one hole at 100 yds. I noticed the plastic trigger guard was cracked at the rear action screw. I bought a stainless trigger guard from boyds and replaced it. It shot 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups at 100 yds after that. I bedded 2 pounds of lead shot in the forearm and 3 pounds of steel rod in the stock. Shimmed the front action screw up an 1/8th of an inch. Back to 1 hole at a hundred yds. I thought I had a canoe anchor.
