[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2268525, member: 116037"] I was talking earlier about the early ammo was pretty shoddy. But I've only ever had one misfire, and it was the ammo. Savage has come a long way in the past 30 or so years, but they still lack some quality control. That being said I've had some perfect right out of the box and some not so perfect. The one factor that keeps me going back to them, besides price, is their customer support. Anytime I've had any problem they were on it! No charge, they even covered shipping. My old B-mag, circa 2012, had developed problems, and even though it was 8-9 years old at the time they fixed it, no charge. Whoever they have doing their repairs are excellent gunsmiths. As I said in an earlier thread they took that old "pencil" barrel that had developed the shotgun pattern accuracy that you hear about and turned it into a tack-driver! I was going to write it off, now it's my go-to walking varminter. Compared to say, Ruger? They are almost always perfect out of the box. I have several and they are excellently built rifles. But they don't seem to support an out-of-warranty firearm? I had some problems with my old MK II target pistol and they sent me a list of qualified gunsmiths?? Turned out to be an easy fix that I did myself. Otherwise, I would have had to drive 40 miles and pay whatever the repair would have been? Just sayin' whatever Savage lacks in quality control they really make up for in customer service!! Plus, in most cases, Savage seems to have the accuracy edge, also their actions are pretty popular for "custom" builds. [/QUOTE]
