X2 on the bottom release being a PITA. I bought the bottom bolt release TH, then replaced the rings and mounts and picked up a wood take-off from someone here. I like the setup for a hunting rifle the Nikon is adequate for hunting, Savage screwed up the DBM and the bolt release. If I had it to do over I would not have bought a new rifle I would have bought an old 110 top release. My mag does seem to have worked itself into a groove of sorts, but I had problems with the bolt not engaging round to feed for a little while.
