I think he discovered that there was a depression in the chamber and basically on firing, the brass was forming into that depresssion.. unless I'm thinking of a different thread lol.. theres another guy having a similar issues on a 338 but yep for sure bore scopes are a must have for us that work/build our own. I need a better one, my wife got it for me years ago but there are some pretty inexpensive nice ones out these days that connect to your phone or tablet.. I may upgrade mine after recovering from christmas :/

Update 1-20-20: Spoke to Savage, they want the rifle. Boxing up and sending in. It is 6 months out of warranty but being never fired (nor rusted, etc.) they want to see it & possibly replace. Yes if it were a burr sticking up, it would be easier to fix. this is a deep machining scar of some kind. Anyway, thanks for all the responses. I'll keep you posted
Do you have any new info like an update on your issue? I have followed this thread and am curious as to what they will do. I had the same issue with my Axis (brass hard to extract) but mine was a rough chamber and not a depression. I fixed it by chucking a mop in my drill with a little polishing compound on it.
