    One here

    I have only taken 1 coyote with the Bmag. And that was before I sent it in and got the 1-8 twist replacement gun. Now that I have the 1-8 twist the problem is getting ammo for it. Hopefully some will be in the stores in the future.

    1:8 replacement? What does that mean? OK, I know what 1:8 twist means but what does the replacement mean? How does a BMag owner get a barrel replacement?

    Thanks.

    when they replaced our defective rifles they decided to change the twist rate from 1:9 to 1:8, that is one reason it took so long to get them back

    call savage to see if you can send in your rifle to have a 1:8 barrel put on it, be prepared to wait 6 months to get it back

    What difference does the one twist make? And what I read about your debacle, would it really be worth it?

    The change to 1:8 twist should help stabilize the bullet more for accuracy, especially the 25 grainers
