The construction of the magazines as you describe is normal for the rimfires as I have owned several in the past and true they do not fit tight . I have been down this path a few times . Do all the magazines act the same way ? Are the rounds hanging up in magazines or are they catching the bottom of the chamber when the round is being fed ? Try loading up a magazine in a safe place to test for function . When cycling the bolt try pushing up and forward on the magazine to see if it will feed properly . It is quite common for the guide in the mag well to be out of alignment allowing the magazine to sit slightly off angle . I would call Savage customer service being its a new gun .
