I suggest you work on it more and if anyone on here can't figure it out, then send it. Because if you send it now, savage is going to recieve and it's going to cycle fine and they're gonna send it right back. So you're out of shipping cost and time away from shooting.
And about what you said earlier with the" what if I'm hunting and I need to get a 2nd round in on the deer"....That's not going to happen. Your first shot is going to scare him and by the time you have reloaded and got back on the scope, he's long gone.
