New MKII FV SR bolt condition... is this normal?
Hello all,
This is my first post to SavageShooters; I was hoping it would be a better post, but...
I just picked up a MKII FV SR from my FFL guy. This is my second MKII, the first being the standard MKII FV. If this new FV SR is anything like the first FV, it'll be a great shooter.
Back to the new rifle... all looked well. The rifle itself looked great, the magazine fit well and was new. The bolt, however was a different story. My first MKII came with a black and silver bolt, polished and in great shape. the bolt for the new FV SR was scratched, had much more wear than any "new" bolt I've ever seen, and was a dull grey color (which might be nice actually). Is this normal? It fits as it should.
I know buying online runs certain risks, some guns I buy local, others I buy online when I can't find one here. But this bolt... I know the rifle will be a good one but I want to start out on the right foot. I've already talked to Savage, and as usual the CS is top-notch. They'll pick the rifle up, look it over and re-bolt the rifle if necessary. Kinda don't want to send it back but again that bolt!
Any other FV SR owners experience this?
thanks!
Matt
