    Savage Mk II .22lr bolt action rifle magazine feeding last round issues


    I have the Savage MK II with a threaded barrel.
    It came with one 5 round magazine.
    There is a consistent problem with the last round feeding out of the magazine. It always jams up and doesn't let the round feed into the chamber. If I pull the bolt back and try to re-feed it, it just mangles the slug.

    Is this a magazine issue or something else?

    Would a new magazine help or is this a problem that is in the bolt?

    The first 4 rounds feed and eject very nicely. Just not that last one.

    Anyone have a suggestion for me?

    Thanks,

    MKP

    The most common failure point in a magazine fed system is usually the magazine. I would start there. My MKII 5 rnd mag wasn't peened properly at the top, Savage replaced it and I went to 10 rnd mags. The replacement and 4 additional magazines have been trouble free for about 10 years now.

    Thanks,

    Where did you get your 10 round mags?
