I spoke with savage yesterday to find out when my gun would be returned, it was received on the 25th and had not been shipped, but was ready to be. The customer service rep said they replaced some parts (didn't know exactly what) and that it was shooting 3" when received but now is @ 1.25"...what ammo they used he didn't know. I guess i will evaluate it with an open mind when i recieve it and shoot it like i just received a new gun but that will be a test in it self. I sure do hope that boyd's would take pitty on us B mag owners and put out a stock as soon as they can!
