Where do the shavings show up? Look in with a light and try to see if it is leaving brass build up and if you cant see it,put your pinky in and feel for a sharp edge or a burr big enough to do this. Also look carefully at the chamber mouth and there should be a light chamfer or better where the cartridge starts in to the chamber,if there is a dent or scratch,send it back to savage for a barrel change. This is not the norm and the reason you see problems with savages more on here is because we are a large family of people and the very few that had problems is only a thin slice of the satisfied customers. Keep in mind that savage is producing 1000's o f these rifles in a short amount of time and lets be honest,people build these things and mistakes do happen. I have never sent a savage back but had nightmares with a few remingtons I had ,so you see it happens to all manufacturers. Ask for a supervisor and tell him you need it back pronto if this rifle is your go to deer rifle and the season is upon us.I am sure they will help.
