Re: New Member/New Savage
I have been having some trouble pushing a round into the chamber in both our Savage model 93 rifles, which are in .22magnum caliber. The clip either moves around or it doesn't lock in place at the proper height in the magazine box. It is kind of a pain in the rear but both rifles are very accurate.

Welcome! She looks like a good shooter, so good luck with her!
I've had the same "last round in the mag not loading properly" with my BTVS, but I haven't found a root cause or fix yet -- hope someone will add some hints here. On mine, it seems like the nose of the round is aiming too high. Hmmm... That make me suspect the follower -- I'll have to take some measurements of how rounds 1 thru 4 sit, and compare that to how #5 sits. Maybe... Just maybe, the rim of the rounds below 1-4 causes the back end to raise up and the bullet nose to drop down 1/32" or so? Then with no other rim below bullet #5, I'm suspecting the angle of the nose is different.
Well this doesn't solve our problem yet -- but you got us thinking about it!
I have not tried CCIs, but my BTVS loves Wolf Match Target. Many other Savages do too, or so I've read, so you might want to spring for a couple of boxes to see how she likes it.
Tight groups!

Same problem here too guys. Called Savage customer service and they shipped a new one for free and problem solved. It has something to do with the lips on magazine clip. Also on mine if I pushed up on original mag the round went in. Make sure you register the gun warrantyfirst. You can do it online in like 30 seconds on their website. Good luck guys !! ;)
