I'm not a fan of the bolt on it.

It is right and finicky. Didn't eject the hull unless you snatched it back just right. The gun doesn't feel near as put together as the other savage .17 HMR rifles.

Well that's good to know & i'll hold off awhile before I look at it again.
Keep me updated on it if you will.

I agree with what Josey said about the gun not being as nice as their 17 HMR. But I think they are onto something with this caliber.

I'm sure it will just take a little while and all kinks will be worked out, we all know Savage makes a quality firearm.
