Mission accomplished!
And some 22 ammo and 7c a round. Win!
Photoās or it never happenedā¦
Iāll have to do a good write up on it when I get some time, probably do some photos today/tomorrow and write up next week. Just so you all know this will be me tonight.

Insert Photo of JS cuddling up in bed with the new toy. Until he is asleep and the boss puts his toys away.
Lol I did that but he took it off.
@juststarting so did you cancel your stainless order, or are you still waiting for that to come as well?
why do you need a scope before you can shoot it, dosenāt it have iron sights?
Lastly, when are you bringing it here for me to break it?

FYI - the image of the magazine is incorrect. it has a different latch system. itās hinged and nothing like the one in the photo above.
Thatās odd. The image I grabbed off the internet may be of the 17HMR version.
The one I handled had a plastic latch at the front you pulled towards yourself with a finger to release it.
I am writing a review right nowā¦ stay tuned, give me 5 minutes.
Now Iām going to have to go back and get a photo.
No, you are correct in your description. However the photo is not correct.
It has a latch built into the magazine, but itās hinged with tension spring behind it.
I am somewhat suspicious that itās done that way to avoid getting smacked by Ruger for patent infringement lol.
Nope, let me finish what I am doing and Iāll take some snapsā¦
Review posted here:
It seems that Savage has two patterns of catch on the 22 magazines. I think the one I handled had an āearlyā pattern one and you got the later improved version.
Alrightā¦ So, some hands on time with this lady today and I must say, I love it! The guy next to me didnāt love it with all the brass flying at him, but I loved it, LOL
Negatives:
- The trigger is unquestionably heavy. If you want to shoot balls of a fly, you will notice the trigger. I was however shooting 223 cases with boring predictability at 50m. It is heavyā¦
- I also found that itās somewhat awkward to load the magazine, but I got pretty fast at it after a few goes. More of an observation and getting used to it, but thought Iād mention it.
- Magazine, I think it may be the way I load it or there are small tolerancesā¦ Possibly, I didnāt push the rounds all the way to the rear of the magazine (I think, because I had exactly the same issue with a box double/staggered stack magazine). I found that out of about 300 rounds, I managed to jam the magazine twice. Itās a rotary magazine and it just didnāt rotate enough to pick up a round. I just unloaded and reloadedā¦ Seemed to work just fine after that.
Positives:
- The rifle is accurate, I canāt say I was shooting for groups, but aiming at whatever, it did put everything within 5cm and I was shooting as fast as I could with random ammo. I think thatās awesome.
- OMFG I love it! I think I enjoyed shooting it more than Alfa and thatās saying a lot, because I love that carbine. This gun is just so much fun. Love it. No regrets what so ever.
Good stuff, I am glad it turned out as a good one.
How did you find the bolt release lever?
Did it āloosenā up any?
Release lever is fine.
