Call send it back,

Clyde

[pitor]

Sent it back if its new. They should make things right, most gun manufacturers have great cs and want to do right by their customers.

[sdmc530]

Agree send it in

[Wilsoncrafter]

That's a shame I would send it back also that's why out of spec for accuracy.

Is that a savage? I have a friend that just bought one and is having the same problem.

[skosh69]

That sucks big time, sorry to hear of your woes.

[Caleb]

I know what's wrong. ...... the bolt handle is on the wrong side.

[ColMike]

Bummer. Guess you'll have to go cqb with the pigs this coming weekend. ;)

I know what's wrong. ...... the bolt handle is on the wrong side.

Not really...I just think Mike is using right handed boolits with a left handed bolt.

I had the same problem with nails at my South Carolina house. Damn carpenter was throwing every third nail over his shoulder, mumbling the head was on the wrong end of the nail. The guy is an idiot, I picked up every nail and used them on the other side of the house.

I found that the rear stock bolt was not torqued to spec, and the action was flexing. I'm going to take it along, along with the Winchester .32 for close range, but the Colonel has a loaner in case this did not cure the problem.

Could possibly be the problem, fingers crossed.

Shoot it in the back yard a couple of times, then hide it when the cops show up. :D

[Riverpigusmc]

yeah, like the sheriff is gonna respond to gun shots here. My back acres butt up to a hunting lease, doofus. Did you change your screenname?

Sure did, I know a guy. :D

Hunting lease? Then why go to GA. when you can hunt in your back yard? Cheap bastage! LOL

Interesting find on the read bolt...... take yer Wilson 1911 and some hot loaded cast boolits. We use 255 grain plus P Buffalo Bore for hogs within 30 yards.

yep, Savage Axis .308

[pony up]

I had a long gun like that once, it was disappointing especially when It was determined the problem was me. So, Mike it could be worse. Good luck. I still think it is a great looking super buy for the money if you can teach it to shoot.
