Jason,
I have seen 2 new 11/111 lightweights that have feeding problems.
The first is in 6.5 Creedmoor, it won't feed from the clip, it jams in chamber and has to be backed out a little and double fed. Gun is being sent back to Savage.
I looked at a new 111/LW in 6.5/284 at a gun shop, really like the gun so I brought 3 dummy loaded rounds (just brass and bullet/ no powder and primer).
Had the guy behind counter load the clip and try to feed, same thing, would not feed.
I think Savage has a problem, how could these guns leave the factory like this?
