I have one in .308 that I bought a couple of years ago and only recently got a chance to shoot it.
On my first range outing, every round failed to extract. Three different factory loads were tested. I had to mortar the rifle to extract the spent casings. On closer inspection I noticed that the chamber looked like shit. Almost like it was rusted, on a new gun. I polished the chamber and it resolved that issue.
But I discovered a new problem. Bolt will not lock open after last round. Nor will it lock back manually. Tried two different PMAGS, bolt locked open on both for like 5 rounds then stopped. Noticed that the bolt is gauging/scraping the edge of the follower. Looks like bolt is resting on the follower. Need to troubleshoot further. Not impressed with my first Savage rifle. Hope you have better luck.
