If this isn’t where this should be Mods please put it where it should go. I purchased a pair of 11fxcp3 savages in 243 a month or 2 ago. Either I’m extremely unlucky or you guys that brag on savages are really lucky. Maybe both apply to some extent. I bought these because I wanted the center feed clip to help with feeding problems I thought I might have with my 35 short. Both have new A & B 35 short barrels on them (took 358 barrels cut some threads off and re-chambered). My brother’s is done, no problems and it really shoots great. Mine on the other hand, the scope went in about 15 rounds, it looks like a center lens turned sideways or something, now they are cheap Bushnell’s so I wasn’t overly surprised but it does mean that it wasn’t worth the time to put it on. Then today I notice that the recoil pad is splitting, they are really soft and I think they do a really good job of helping with the recoil (mind you these things don’t kick much). I would really like to e-mail savage and give them a chance to replace the recoil pad but their website say’s no e-mails which really is a poor policy in today’s world. Last 6 rounds today 1,2, & 3 was a 5/8” group in the center @ 100. Shot 4 I threw 1” to the right, shot 5 and 6 hit the ¾ black dot @ 100 that I was shooting at so these things do shoot, but then so does my re-barreled K.KALE mauser that was the test rifle to start off with.
