I bought this rifle new, at a show and have had more problems that this caliber deserves. I bought new brass ,45 grain bullets and a can of lil gun. Fist off it did not grab the case to extract.Pushrd the case out with a ramrod, pulled the bolt put the cartrige on and inserted. Gun fired and then pulled the bolt back and it just barely stuck the end of the case out. I took the rifle home and noticed the bolt guide/ejector was loose / took stock off and found out the threads were stripped. Squeezed the tin a little bit and got it tight. Now it doesn't even try to eject. Has savage really cheapend their products to this extent? I really like the rifle but after three older savages that were very well made to come to this is a big downer.
No I did not over load the rounds
no, I have no warrenty
Has anyone else had any luck like this with a model 40?
