Thread: My Savage 223

I've bought a couple of Savage rifles direct from Sportways over the years (ex-display ones they had on trademe at sharp prices), no complaints at all about the service or the rifles.

I can understand their reluctance to give free replacement parts for things you had modified to be honest. They don't know if there was a problem before the rifle was modified, it doesn't seem like you checked it yourself before modifying, you admit that you made a mess of the magazine yourself rather than returning it or getting a gunsmith to look at it, and then it sounds like you went to the distributor rather than the retailer you bought it from (unless you bought direct from them) once you found the problem.

Every manufacturer has the odd lemon get through QA, unfortunately you put yourself into a bit of an awkward corner with the way you went about things. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and take it as a lesson learnt the hard way.
