Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Opinions on Savage rifles

I've only owned 3 Savages, 116 FHSS (300 WIn), 116 FHSS (375 Ruger) and a Stevens 200 (243). None fed the best. I tweaked the boxes to get them working, but they were still not very slick at feeding. I checked with some of the Savage nuts and they said that smooth feeding was not a strong point with those rifles. I didn't have those rifles for very long so I didn't mess with them any further.

Anyone else have feed issues with Savages? It seems like the feedlips end too far back and release the cartridge too early.
