I bought a Savage Model 25 laminate stock in 204 ruger. Great shooting gun BUT!!!. The magazines are plastic and the shells would pop up in front and then jam up when running the bolt forward. Called Savage service and they replaced the Mag.
Same thing with the new Mag. When putting four rounds in the mag the spring pressure is so strong the it pops the top shell up and out of the front of the mag. If only two rounds were loaded it worked fine due to the lesser spring pressure.

Sold the Model 25 today at a great loss and bought the Model 10 Predator Max 1 W/ Acu Stock and Acu trig. It has a
METAL MAG! . This is the rifle that I originally wanted but I could not find one so I settled for the 25. Big mistake.

I talked to at least eight retail dealers before I found one that could order it for me. Should be here in a week or so.

I hope this post will help pass the word about the poorly designed mags in the model 25.
