hi guys, my first post!

- just bought a brand new savage axis in .243

my question is simple (and I think I already know the answer)

should a brand new bolt face look like this?




I'm concerned specifically about the dimpling...

sorry for the ignorance, but this is the first brand new rifle I have ever owned. all my others have been 'pre loved'

I have read that some carbonisation is to be expected... but probably not as much as this...

any opinions appreciated...

cheers,
Mitch.
