There's nothing wrong with a two-groove barrel as long as it's in spec. Much like the Springfield 1903A3 and other rifles that used them, if the two groove barrel didn't perform to the same standard, they'd have never been adopted.

According to PL the Savage rifles that were sent for No4T conversion were either rejected or had their barrels replaced as the two-groove was not acceptable for conversion.
