[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 891217, member: 39801"] Hammer 111, Welcome to the site! I don't think you"ll get beat up too bad:D I personally don't disagree with your overall opinion (it ain't a bench rest gun). That said, I am disappointed with the rifle relative to past Savage rimfires. My 93 doesn't have the greatest materials or fit and finish, but it shoots straight and is mechanically sound. While I haven't shot a B Mag, I have handled a few and read a bunch of member reviews. Issues with magazine fit/feeding, stocks contacting barrels, extraction failures , and bolt stop malfunctions seem to be common. These types of issues (to me) are unacceptable at any price range. They leave you with a semi-functional rifle. I guess I was hoping for a B Mag in-line with my past experience with Savage - built inexpensively, but skimping and saving cost in the "right" places. And consistently good shooters. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that they have some work to do on the B Mag to get there. As far as the burr in your chamber, I would recommend something far less aggressive than a file. I'm not sure how pronounced it is, but if it takes more that something mildly abrasive to polish off you may want to consider taking it to a gunsmith. You definitely don't want to take any more material out of there than necessary! [/QUOTE]
