I bought a plain jane MKII with a wood stock, sporter barrel and open sights. It was intended as a first firearm for a 9 year old for Christmas and I'm not very happy so far. In the first 100 rounds with 3 different kinds of ammo it has extraction and ejection issues, had FTF's with all 3 brands and doesn't want to feed any of them from the clip with out screwing around. I have had good luck with ALL of my other savage/stevens weapons. I have stayed away from the savage .22's in the past because this is kind of what I expected but I have never read about these kinds of issues on this forum or any other forum for that matter. It is brand new, not used and was cleaned before use. Maby I should have stuck with the 10/22's
