Greeting all,

This past Sunday, I bought a new MkII FV from one of the big box sporing goods retailers. I called Savage Customer Service with a few questions. The answers I got surprised me. I asked:
1. Does Savage recommend breaking in new rifles? Answer from Savage, No
2. Does the type/weight/quality/velocity of ammo matter for break in? Answer, No, our rifles are ready to shoot out of
the box.

I'd like to pose the same questions to the forum, please. Should I break in the barrel? Should I use a specific ammo for break in? Should I stick with the ammo used for break in? Should I cycle the bolt a few hundred times before using the rifle?

Thank you for your time and input.

Gyland
