Bought this gun about a month ago.Shoots ok,but always thought the bolt felt funny on closing.
Further inspection came up with this:

Looks like the guys at the factory staked marked the receiver to allow clearance for the bump of metal left from casting the bolt.
Im still waiting for a reply from savage.
Anybody see anything like this?

That mark most probably came from the bolt handle, File it off.

Nope...Its about twice the size of the bump on the bolt handle and very uniform rectangular shape.
Its was staked at the factory.

Give Savage a call (413 568-7001 EST) their customer service is top notch ask for Rob. I had an issue with my Hog Hunter (223Rem) the receiver wasn't tapped properly. Rob arranged pickup with UPS It took less then two weeks to get my Pig Sticker back with the issue resolved!

What is the issue? Is the proud metal from the staked area dragging or causing the issue with the bolt closing?

Feels like it doesn't close all the way if that makes sense.

When you dry fire it does the bolt handle jump?

Yes it does.

Bolt handle jump means nothing fired on an empty chamber. How do you know it's not closing all the way??

It does mean the sear is catching on the trigger when the bolt is closed and that it fires when the trigger is pulled.
