BSA described the problems I had with a Savage 99 in 358. I actually had two of them. One functioned flawlessly, the other had several mis-fires/failure to fire. Missed a nice buck because the gun did not go off. I returned that one to Savage and never had a problem with the replacement. All Savage said was something about the shoulder and the chamber. In any case, there did seem to be some sort of issue with that short shoulder that affected some small number of rifles.
