    Personally, I would never send a rifle back to Savage for something like that. (But then I would never send my rifles, or pistols for that matter, back for anything.) These problems which aren’t really problem according to Savage.

    All I know is having the bolt head bushed or using a PTG bolt head, and setting the firing pin striker for maximum pin fall, while having the minimum pin protrusion (.035”), will cure cratering & light primer strikes.

    My grandson wanted 223 to play with so I bought a Ruger American. The problem? I was unable to chamber my Go gauge or a new stick of brass. As it turned out it's extractor was too long to jump the rim of a case but after "modifying" it a bit .....

    Why didn't I send back to Ruger? I figured if Ruger didn't build it right the first time why would I expect them to fix it right a second time.
