Purchased rifle on July 4th. Cleaned, lubed, and re-assembled. Loaded the magazine. Installed it in the rifle with the bolt open. Released the bolt and the cartridge jammed part way into the barrel. Tried installing the magazine with the bolt closed with the same result. After twenty attempts and dented cartridges I gave up. Can't tell if it is a rifle issue or the magazine. So another unhappy customer contacting Savage service. And of course Savage is on vacation.
