Savage 6.5 Creedmoor chamber issues

I suppose most of what I recommend will seem obvious but here goes anyway... First off take the bolt out and shine a flashlight down the chamber. If you don't see anything obvious like the aforementioned bur or rough marks in the chamber, try swabbing it out with acetone to dissolve any coatings that could be in there. Then clean the rifle as normal and take it out and shoot it again. If the problem persists, take it back to the dealer that sold it to you and talk to them about sending it in for warranty work...

Savage Freaks Show Your Savages!!!!

Here's another. A forlorn Savage that I picked up at the House of Hock. It looked all bedraggled in it's Tacticool glory. I got it for a song, and no, the stock didn't fit the action. When I bought it, it had only one action bolt.

So, I took it home, disassembled everything, and placed a call to Savage. They sent me a new magazine box, a stock, and some action bolts. I went to work with some paint stripper and some 00 steel wool, and in a day or so, the box from Savage arrived. It's now a basic, plain-jane .308 with a blind magazine synthetic stock.

That's better, don't you think? It likes 150 grain SST bullets pushed to over 2900 fps with Power Pro 2000 MR powder and manages to keep them well inside an inch of the aiming point. It wears a 2.5X10 Weaver scope. I haven't made meat with it yet, but this year will be coming soon.

Savage 64 TR-SR thread length and Sparrow

I bought a Savage 64 TR-SR for the threaded barrel, and when I try to screw on my SilencerCo Sparrow, it bottoms out before touching the shoulder of the barrel. I know a spacer is needed, but all the ones I have looked at seem too thick. I dont want peel washers, but a spacer that is machined for the correct purpose. Has anyone found a good spacer, preferably threaded, for this purpose? The link is to the 64 TR-SR so everyone will know which rifle Im talking about

CZ 527 or Savage Series 10 or what in 223

I have the CZ 527 Varmint and my son and two different shooting buddies have Savage 10 FCP-Ks.
Both models are very accurate and shoot about just about as accurately.
The difference in accuracy among all 4 rifles is very small, in the hundredths of an inch for the average of 25 favorite loads over more than 50 groups each. All of their top 25 loads average around 0.360 inches at 100 yards.

The CZ is lighter and smaller. The Savage is steadier because of its muzzle brake and longer barrel.
My CZ and the Savage 10 FCP-Ks shoot bullets from 40 grains to 65 grains very accurately and 35 grain and 69 about 0.1 inches larger. They even shoot 77 grain SMKs around .7 inch groups at 100 yards. Not bad for 1:9 twist barrels.

I just bought a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 so I like the Savage too.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

Savage plastic magazines

I bought a Savage model 25 light weight varmiter and it has a plastic magazine. The problem is the plastic mag. When loaded with three or four shells the sides of the mag bulges and the shells turn upward and cause a jam when working the bolt. I called Savage arms and they sent me a new plastic mag and it does the same. Metal mags are not made. I now have a very nice rile that won't feed.

Anyone else have this problem or a fix for it.

Savage 99 category under "leverguns"

There are a few threads. I personally like them myself and have hunted with a 99 in .250-3000

If we get enough interest, making a new forum topic is pretty easy.

Savage Model 7 (JC Higgins 101.16) Extractor Removal

Hey fellas,
I am working on my dads old 22 due to failure to extract spent cases. The extractor hook is boogered up pretty good so I looked for parts and found them available.

I removed the left side extractor by pulling the plunger down and levering the extractor out of its pocket. (I used a pointy brass cleaning jag)

The right side is kicking my arse though. I can't seem to get any purchase on the top edge of the plunger to begin pulling it down.

Anyone have experience with this operation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Which Savage to "Build" Off Of?

Hit up your local LGS or pawn shop, even GB if you can find a "deal" for any long action Savage or Stevens.

As long as the action and bolt are in good shape, the worst the rest (stock, barrel) looks, the better...price wise for you.

Even if the ones you see are good condition, sell off the barrel, maybe even the stock for a few bucks.

Then pick up the aftermarket barrel and stock of your choice.

I bought a 7-08 used for $300, sold the barrel for $60... (and kept it 7-08).

You can also buy new actions from Northland Shooters Supply.

Savage 12V magazine conversion

I have a Savage 12V in 223 Remington. It is the standard magazine fed model. I do most of my shooting off a bench, especially when load testing and find loading singly a hassel.

I use the benchrest followers in my mauser type actions and love them, but they won't work in the Savage.

Are there any after market items that will convert my Savage 12V to a single loader? I would appreciate any help from this forums members.
