dude was too cheap to even get a delux * cough* savage Every 'delux' Savage I've had could out-shoot rifles costing many times the money. The nly one I have currently is a FXP3 in .243 Win that I picked up used at a gun show for $295. A previous owner had screwed up the trigger spring, which was a very cheap and fast fix with a call to Savage. That .243 shoots like the "homely" .22-250 Dad handed down to be back in the late 90's. Which is to say 3 shots touching at 100. With a few exceptions, those 'delux' Savages rifles are pure crap in the aesthetics department. Don't know why anyone would buy one. Unless they want a shooter.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

In addition to the pure crap syndrome something moved the firing pin when the bolt was retracted... "I pulled it back and I tried it again and it wouldn't go. So I pulled it back like that. When I pulled it back like that, boom," said Lyons. From looking at the peeled back case neck area in the picture it seems this was a totally out of chamber experience. Anything in that bolt, sear or the bolt stop that would do that?

It wasnt a bullet. Stupid press doesnt know the difference between a bullet and a "shell" which the article uses interchangibly. Its called brass fragments from the catridge case shrapnel, dumbasses. Must have been a magical bullet to be launced from an unchambered cartidge, do a 180, and have enough energy to fragment on the guys face.
