Is anyone having problems with the Savage 110 Hog Hunter in 350 Legend feeding.
I had issues with the rifle from day one. I notified Savage and they suggested a new magazine. As a former mechanic, I agreed. Go with the cheapest possible solution first. A new magazine arrived within three days, Same thing. At this point I tried putting only 3 rounds in the magazine, as it was always the fourth round that got sideways on me. It seemed to work.
I, again, contacted Savage and explained my testing procedure. The rep asked if I would like to try a third magazine or send the rifle in, under warranty. Now, you all have to understand, I haven't even got to put a single round down range yet, so I said let's try another magazine.
The magazine arrived about 2 hours ago. I loaded 4 rounds of Winchester 145 grain FMJ, and proceeded to chamber rounds. Fourth round? nose down in the magazine! Again, I loaded only 3 and it functioned just fine.
Since it is a hunting rifle, 3 rounds plus one in the chamber will suffice. So, what would you do..... send it in for warranty repair or let it fly as a 3 + 1 rifle?
