I have a new-to-me Savage MkII BV that I finally got to shoot for real today with good ammo and controlled conditions. Even after shooting a few dozen shots, it did an unusual thing consistently: the first shot of a new magazine (i.e., after a couple of minutes' rest) was off to the right. The next shot might be a little closer to POA. After that, the rest of the magazine was all sub-MOA right on POA. After a couple of minutes to reload my two mags, it repeated this behavior.
Could the barrel need to be floated? It seems strange that a couple of minutes would be enough to let it cool off so much that it would move, but maybe it's touching the stock just right.
