A little update. Sent the rifle back to Savage and they had it two months. Got it back with a note that said “repaired”. I looked it over, checked the barrel etc., loaded a mag and took it out to the bench. One shot, two shot, full auto for two, full auto for three, light strike, failed to cock the action, one last shot. Couldn’t believe it. Took it out the next day to video it but all I got were light strikes and fail to cock. Sent it back to Savage again and they’re going to send a new rifle supposedly. I have absolutely zero confidence the next one will be any different. I’m afraid I’m dealing with the Yugo of the semi auto world. I’ll update as the bad news warrants.
