My B/Mag was perfect too. I hope my next one is also. I have 3 model 25s. .204, .17H & .22H. I haven't fired the 22. The issue I had the most with the .204 was it shot very high. I honestly didn't think I was going to get it to come down. It had increased bolt cocking effort that Savage says is normal which I do not believe it is but it works better now approaching 40 rounds fired. It is very accurate. You can't baby the bolt when feeding a round. If feels nicer now than when new a year ago.
The 17H is a T Hole and it feeds iffy and has high bolt effort. Worst thing was at 50 yards it was shooting 18" right of center...EIGHTEEN INCHES I said.
I had read here that shooting very high and very left/right was common and the easy fix was to install an EGW 1 piece base. I bought one for the 17H and it still shot about 6" right but it worked out faster.
When I bought the last M25 T Hole 22H I bought 2 M25 bases, one for the .204, it was just going to be a given whether it needed it or not. I do believe the .204 needs it.
I would suggest doing so for you too.
Is yours high gloss finishon the metal or satin matte finish like the B.Mag?
