I’ll have to check the box. The serial number they shipped matches the rifle.

I am a bit bothered by it. The thing is, this shop only had this one Savage FCP, and I paid $589 for it. I reached out to them via email to let them know the rifle isn’t as advertised, and the person that wrote me back said, “We don’t have one with a fluted barrel.” Well... no ****. You only had one to begin with, and it’s the one I’m holding. Since I bought the last one, their website no longer shows the details of the item I bought.

My options are to return for a refund or keep it. I don’t think I can find another one at this price. And I probably wouldn’t be refunded my transfer fee. This sort of thing would usually spin me up, but I like the rifle and can tolerate the barrel.

The other thing is, I talked to Savage and provided the serial number, and they told me without hesitation that it came with a 0 MOA rail... but it didn’t. It’s hard to blame the distributor for what’s in the box if even Savage doesn’t know.
