My new 12LRP may have to go back!!

Hello all, this is my first post here.
I boght a Savage 12LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor and it came in today. I was beyond excited driving to the gun store. I was let down hard when I noticed the stock was damaged at the bottom of the grip. It's nothing too bad but I paid a lot of money for the rifle and it was a pressent. I sent an email to Bud's where I bought it to see if they can make it right or not. Has anyone used Bud's? How is their customer service? Will it need to go to Savage to fix/replace the stock? If sent to savage, is there anything to check for before it goes (short chamber, etc)?

Imo,buds is going to be the one making it right. When the rifle arives it's there job to inspect it and sign for it. I see them replacing that hs stock for you.

Thanks. I'll find out what Bud's has to say later today. I didn't get the shipping warranty so I took several pictures of the boxes to prove it wasn't shipping related and the lady at the gun store was right there with me ready to talk to Bud's herself.

I would not worry bout it I always dump the factory stock anyway.

Except that isn't a tupperware stock, it's an HS precision.

Good luck getting Buds to replace it.

Far from being a plastic stock. Dam good stock. Pricey as well. The transfer is between buds and your lgs. The gs charges transfer fees.besides them calling at
f Its there job to inspect the item before signing. This is going to be a finger pointing fiasco.

I am well aware of what a HS Precision stock is. I have one on my Rem 700 sniper rifle. This will be a finger pointing fiasco for sure.

I have same rifle . Shoots 6" groups @1000 with 142 smks.
Shoot it .keep it. and give it a kiss goodnight.

I would check the chamber. This is my model 12 LRP in 6.5 creedmoor.
