I think they probably are doing a good job of following their policies. They work in the real world though and some small percentage of these rifles at any given time are being shipped between stores, they are perhaps being returned or are in line for a customer pickup who cancels their order because they already have 8-10 FV rifles. There may be confusion because of rifles being shipped between stores instead of being shipped for customer pickup at a store. Perhaps the Savage salesman to Cabelas carries a few of these in the trunk of his car and he dropped them off while they wait on a schedule for a production batch to be done. It seems though that at this point the state has settled on "backorderable" for all FV's.

The whole reason these rifles are a good deal is because being built in batches reduces the costs. So when a batch arrives the situation should turn around. It will take a somewhat variable time as stores do not get shipments every day.
