Hi,
I need some advice, so I thought I'd go to Savage experts.
I was gifted a Model 99F in .308 Winchester from my Uncle/Godfather. It is in very good condition. Several years ago, while shooting it, I experienced complete case head separations toward the case head. This occurred with my reloads as well as factory ammo. My guess is that it is a headspace problem, however I have no headspace gauges to verify. At the time, I could not find a gunsmith in my area who would touch the rifle. So, back in the safe it went. I sure would like to shoot this rifle once again!
If someone is familiar with a competent gunsmith in the Phoenix, Arizona area who is able to check this out for me, or if you have gauges that I could use for one application, I would be appreciative.
Thanks, in advance, for your support and/or input.
