[QUOTE="oregonreloader, post: 1021371, member: 71958"] Mo Shooter, Welcome to the "tales of woes thread". I am, frankly surprised, that after all the early problems Savage B.MAG owners had, they continued to produce a flawed rifle. To me, as you describe, this *** did not seem to be a Savage-quality rifle. And to not address the most basic of problems after almost two years in production, such as the ones you've described is a little shocking. Before I sent mine back for the fourth and final time, I had experienced almost all of the problems you have been seeing. Just as others here had been experiencing. When I was actively trying to tune the rifle--thinking that after just [U]one more[/U] trip to Savage, all would be well--I followed this thread daily. I commiserated with the guys having the same problems. My solution was that by the time I'd sent it back three times, I had established a pretty good relationship with the customer service lady, Debbie Roberts. She seemed to understand, but also understandingly never admitted that it was...well, not a quality product. She told me she would swap my B.MAG *** (my words, not hers) for a .223 or .17 Hornet Model 25. I've got a couple of .223s so I accepted the .17 Hornet. It's a good shooter. And I finally got some brass and some AA1680 powder, so I can load to my heart's content and not worry about buying ammo. When I actually received the M25 from Debbie, I sent her a $85 bouquet of flowers. She was very nice, patient and helpful to me and the M25 was a gracious exchange. And a step up. So I figured the flowers was the least I could do. If I were you, I wouldn't invest any more time in the B.MAG. Talk to your newest best friend at Savage and ask if you can exchange it for something else. If she says "yes", then thank her with a little gift for her consideration. You'll feel better and she'll feel a lot better. And after your B.MAG departs, all your worries will melt away. [/QUOTE]
