Shot hundreds of rounds thru my a22 and it’s running amazing!! No flaws yet can let all 10 rounds go in around 2 seconds if you can pull the trigger fast enough.
If you take some 220 sandpaper, sand the bottom of the barrel throat until it's smooth. Sand it as though you were trying to throat it but don't take a lot off. It has a sharp edge that is causing the problem.You'll need to wrap the sandpaper around a small dowel rod.
I feel your pain brother I have the Mark ll for a decade and have nothing but problems since day one send it to savage and when I got it back was the same the only reason I don't trade it in is because I don't want someone else to end up with the yunk Tanks for the video take care and stay safe.
Thanks yes it’s sad because one of my favorite rifles is a Savage 93R17 and it’s been great. They really dropped the ball in this one though. Thanks for watching!
My gf has one. Great little gun. No feed problems, mag problems or anything. Shoots every bit as accurate as my ruger 10/22 target regardless of what brand ammo.
LOL wowww, that`s not saying much when you compare a 1022 to the savage. I`ve never seen a 1022 shoot worth a phuck, and i`ve owned MANY 1022`s. I dont own them anymore.
Bought one April 2021, first time out I was using Federal bulk ammo, 70 rounds and 5 misfeds just like in the video. Second time out, tried to shoot 100 rounds of Federal bulk ammo again. Every third round in the 10 or 25 magazine was a bent misfed. The scope ring screw that tightens the rings to the base also sheared off during that outing. Found your video looking for answers to the misfeds and wished I had gone with a 10/22 like I had planned. Not wanting to give up on it, I asked around and was told to try mini mags, that the A22 likes round nose bullets. The second outing I had 5 CCI blazer left and it cycled those just fine, figured it couldn't hurt to try the mini mags. Third outing it fired 50 mini mags without a single issue, thought lets try the Federal bulk ammo again as it is readily available here. Fired 300 rounds without a single issue too. Only thing different between the second and third outing, I left the 10 round magazine filled with 10 rounds of Federal ammo for 2 months while debating on selling the gun. I saw a few videos when loading with the bolt closed, the rear of the magazine does not always sit properly, resulting in bent bullets. Now I ensure the bolt is locked open and the rear of the magazine is fully inserted, then slide my hand forward to lock the front in. Since the third outing, I have put a full box of 525 count bulk Federal ammo through the gun, without a single misfed. The only issue I have had was 1 stove pipe in 12F(-11C) weather. Never cleaned it between any of the outings.
Thanks for sharing that information and for watching! Glad yours is functioning now mine still is not after 2 trips to Savage and back they said they will send me a different gun. Hopefully it will cycle
I've seen many .22s choke on bulk lead round nose ammo, even my Ruger Mk Target doesn't feed it well. Like the firearm the ammo can be CRAPPY as well. But for my money I expect my firearms to shoot what I put in them. But I try to buy quality ammo. I'd save the uncoated lead for my bolt action.
G'day. I know it's a 10 month old vid, but had to comment. I have the A22R (repeat lever for Australia) and I had 4 or 5 misfires in the first 20 rounds. I never had any feed jams though. I spoke to another guy at the range who said he had dramas if he loaded over 6 rounds in the mag. I had, by then, already taken to tapping the rear of the loaded mag gently on the table, stock, 50 round plastic ammo box (whatever), and I haven't had a single misfire in 1000 odd rounds. Worth a try. Shouldn't have to, but it works as a simple fix with mine. Have a second magazine that also works fine with a little tap, although it sounds like yours might be struggling with a bigger issue.
I purchased one last week and yet to have a problem. Loading the mag is a sketchy at 1st but you get use to it. Probably 500 rounds. I did start out with stingers there a little bit hotter may have help breaking in. But the Ruger 10/22 I had always had problems. So I feel like you got a dud.
Mine feeds everything except Mini Mags and only in the 10 round rotary magazine. Mini Mags work flawlessly with the Butler Creek 25 round magazine. Stingers and Standard Velocity work especially well in my rifle. Thanks for the video!
Mine had feeding issues at first, i messed with the magazine ever so slightly and now it is flawless. I have also heard that you need to find the torque specs for that stock screw that holds it all together, if it is off by even a bit, it throws accuracy and causes feed issues in many .22 rifles.
Mine had clearance issues according to Savage , sent it in twice and now it runs decent so they definitely have a quality control problem on this model. Thanks for watching!
I have a savage bolt action 17hmr with an accu-trigger. It shot great right out of the box, just a base model. I bought a marlin xt-22 when they first came out. It was total garbage, I could never get it zeroed, it threw rounds all over. I sent it back, and they sent me a brand new one. That rifle left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I never fired the new one they sent me and traded for a S&W victory pistol. The pistol was great right out of the box. I have had a Marlin model 60 for 20+ years and it has been excellent.
Mine ran great for the first 1500-2000 rounds. Now I have either a misfeed, failure to feed, or weak hammer blows a couple times every 10 rounds. Even after cleaning and oiling the problem never goes away. I used the Butler creek 25 round mags and the 10 round mags, makes no difference. I was shooting cci 40gr.
Tried 3 types of ammo . It is definitely the gun. Sent it back to Savage and after 7 weeks got it back and it still messes up ever 5 shots or so. My friend bought one and it is doing the same , glad you got one of the good ones Steven! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews That just isn't right - you did everything you were supposed to and still have a completely unreliable gun. Sorry this happened to you. Had been thinking about one but based on your experience, I don't want to take the chance on luck of the draw. Thanks for your honest review.
That's unfortunate. Mine eats led and shits brass like a mini gun straight out of a terminator movie. If it's any consolation, I've bought several firearms and unfortunately ended up with a bad one = feed issues, jams, stove pipes. (Ruger American 9mm, Ciappa .22 upper to name a few) These days it seems like everything I buy is hit or miss. Best of luck
Just got back from the range. My A22 in 22WMR was jamming after every two rounds that I fired. Thanks for letting people know about this firearm's faults.
you see the yellow gunk near the clocking pin that eject the shell thing is call... I have this problem... I use brake cleaner to blast all those yellow gunk out. it came like that from the factory... I was having issue every shot but after cleaning all that yellow gunk out. I was able to fire about 9 shot out of 10. The last bullet, fte... but the gun is accurate out the box...
On the bottom of the bolt directly under the firing pin hole there a 2 inch long bar take the sharp edges off it it’s job is to strip the round out of the magazine I’d say there’s a rough edge on that
Im a gunsmith in australia we’ve had 30 or so a22 and a22r come in with the same problem it’s just when them machined the bar into bolt they left it rough other manufacturers use a cheaper way they use stamped piece of steel to strip the rounds in that case u just replace the stamped stripper
I have a pretty good experience with the one I bought. I purchased it on Friday, May 21, at 6pm CST at a walmart, zeroed it with a Vortex Crossfire 2 at around 9pm using a flashlight to light up the target, and then bagged 3 out of 3 squirrels the next morning. No jam and hits where I aim the cross hair at.
Ammo used to zero was thunderbolt 36gr. After got a good group on the target, I switched to CCI 40gr and bull's-eye 2 out of 3 shots. When I bagged the squirrels, I was using BPR 40gr hp.
If I were you I would call Savage and complain about your gun. I'm sure they'll help you out with this issue. I have several Savage rifles and they're all in good working condition.
I did and also have several Savage rifles , this particular one is definitely lacking quality control. They ended up replacing the rifle after I sent it back the second time.
Question? Did you disassemble clean and reassemble BEFORE firing? Or even After firing? I have 3 savage rifles. 1 .243 and 2 .22 WMR magnums, never ever an issue. But I ALWAYS disassemble, clean, lube, and reassemble BEFORE I shoot any firearm, new or used. Please tell me what you did before and after you shot it. Thank you, Jeff Reeves Venice Florida
I actually have over 50 rifles Jeff and even worked as a gunsmith about 10 years ago. I sent this rifle back to Savage and they said it was a clearance issue . They sent it back supposedly fixed but it still won’t cycle . I actually hunt with a Savage Axis 2 XP 6.5 Creedmoor and it is flawless but this A22 is definitely a bad rifle. I started this channel to give real unbiased reviews and unfortunately I cannot recommend this rifle. And yes I strip and clean every firearm in my collection Jeff . Thanks for watching!
Hi , the issue is the magazine, there is a new style mag that replaces the ones you are using, the new ones have a new designed lever. Mine was the same , so got new mags from savage and now have not had a jam since, I use 42 grain Eley contact subs
@@countryboyreviews mine went back to UK importers, that took a few weeks, the annoying part is savage knew about it and the UK importers where waiting for the new style mags to arrive in UK. But now with new mags it's sport on, not had a jam , I have the target thumbhole version
@@andysinn8655 that's a shame , mine no problem since using upgraded mags. What I have noticed is the amount of swarf like material both lead and brass, I think the action is still all to Sharp, I think it could all do with a polish.
I have an A22, it works flawlessly with most ammo, BUT, I did find that there is some ammo that would not work worth spit, Try different ammo Country Boy, they all can’t be bad…
Hate that for you, I would feel the exact same way you do.. BUT 4 months on mine, no problems. Bought another for my son, 2 months now, no problems. CCI Mini-Mags, and Winchester X 38gr, they will misfire in the first 100, and yes they did bend some cases, but it cleared up after wiping the factory grease out, and a proper gun oil cleaning. My old Marlin model 60 was no better, my Ruger 10/22 was only easier to find accessories, and it flat out-shoots my Savage model 64 in every way. For my money, the A22 has been a really good gun so far. I will add that there is a definite difference in these 2 guns. Mine is an FV SR Overwatch .22LR 47240. It runs well, easy to disassemble, and easy to reassemble with the scope mounted. My son's 47200 looks exactly like yours, runs well, but the bolt sticks during disassembly, and doesn't want to fit back in the receiver on re-assembly, but when you hold your mouth just right, and the spirit wolf howls, it slips right in like it's got hair around it or something.. The scope isn't in the way, we have tall mounts on his, medium height rings on mine. I'll be doing a little file work on it if it doesn't clear up on it's own, as we break it in. Reading through the other comments, I went back and tried to see which magazine you're using, My A22's have the spring and lever release. The bent plastic clip is the same as on my Savage Axis 22-250 magazine, it feeds perfectly, but I have also seen comments about the bent plastic clip magazines not working properly on the A22's, and some complain of failures with the B22's with plastic clip magazines. Best of luck Country Boy!
Thanks for sharing that TomCat65! I'm still waiting to get it back from Savage , I must say I wasn't that impressed with the customer service since it has been there a month already lol. Thanks for watching!
My 10/22 did this too....was an absolute nightmare when breaking it in. Runs much better now after putting 2kish is rounds through it though buy man I honestly can't stand Ruger now because I got such a finicky gun.
💥💥💥💥💥💥I'm wondering if you shoot it freehanded or from a barricade position if it will run ? The pressure your putting on the mag while on a sandbag or rest.....could very well be your problem, it would reposition the second round loaded. My Ruger was doing something very similar.
I’ve had a slight issue with REM golden bullets. Fed American Eagles haven’t done it, yet. AE have had an issue with hanging up in the chamber. Just this morning I had one hang up and on the next shot attempt, the firing pin broke.
Let's not forget that guns are like cars or almost anything else you buy some times you can get a bad one that's what the warrenty is for just in case you get a bad one. You might want to take it back and get another one and then give it a try.
I actually recieved it back from Savage after 7 weeks and it still has an issue about every other magazine. My friend actually has one that he has had issues with as well. I think even if there are alot of good ones out there that it is the right thing to do to inform people there is a decent chance they could get a bad one and be disappointed like me. I have a few Ruger 10-22 rifles and they have been flawless for not much more money so I'm going to have to stay with the two thumbs down on this rifle. Thank you so much for watching Patrina!
A gun should be safe and free of malfunctions and should be held to a higher standard of quality and reliability than other products.Even if it is a .22 your life my rely on a non malfunctioning gun.What if you had a home invasion and your gun fails to perform?
I had my A22 jam a couple of times, then it seemed to smooth out. My bigger issue was the charge bolt broke off when checking the action. Savage is sending me a new part but this rifle has less than 30 rounds through it. I thought I did a decent product search before I bought this rifle, but apparently not. Seems to have lots of issues....
I bought one in 2019 new in box wood not cycle. Sent it back to factory. They said they couldn't find any problems still wood not cycle 2 shoots jam 2 shots jam sent it back 2nd time with a nasty note to the manager they sent me a new rifle 3 months later and it worked great not happy with service department
Need to shoot heavier rounds. Like 35 40 grains. Mine had some probs with low grainage. Mine eats pretty much everything and super accurate. But ya I had a little bit of problems at first. I cleaned the shit out of it and shoot little heavier rounds and she rips!
I purchased a savage a22 wmr back in December and I have yet shot the full 10 round mag through that rifle. I sent it back to the store I purchased it at and they sent it back to savage TWICE! Savage keeps claiming that the rifle is fine but it misdeeds, doesn’t eject the round, and even sometimes doesn’t even fire. And yet savage claims that the rifle is perfectly fine. I have other firearms that work perfectly fine made from savage and I cannot believe this one is giving me this many problems and that they claim that the rifle is in perfect working order the past two times it got sent back
My savage A 22 Magnum does the exact same thing yours does with multiple magazines and multiple different types of ammunition I bought mine brand new as well
i just got a new a22,,,piece of crap,,,,40 rounds , then the charging handle breaks off,,prior to that several jams, several no fires...i knew better than to buy a savage, but i did it,,,wont be buying anymore....took the gun to the local gun shop,,told them if you give me $200 for the $388 savage, it had the fancy laminated stock,,,i would trade for their cz 22...they said they would do that,,,we traded, and i gave them $379 boot....money well spent..
All ranges are different but my favorite doesn't allow rapid fire. Occasionally someone will show up and do it but the range master will warn them. I've even seen a guy thrown off the range because he was warned twice, third time he was told to leave . It's a public (county) range, the club ranges just don't have the budget to have full time range masters
1st: I know the video is almost 3yr old. 2nd: read the comments, it seems to be split on good or bad. Doesn't instill confidence. 3rd: makes me think 22cal is a hobby gun that needs to be tweaked, based on several comments. 4th: what brand(s) ammo did you use? In my new Henry AR-7 it misfed all Aguila and CCi types, but shoots Remington Golden and Winchester SuperX perfect. (I'm working on an experiment to test nearly a dozen other types). 5th: I'm looking for a 22WMR and I'm leaning towards bolt action, the B22F or G specifically, but another youtuber suggested filing a point on the bolt to make it smoother action. Another reason I'm starting to think 22 as a hobby gun. I went to a store and checked several bolt actions in 22 and 17 and sure enough there is a sharp edge making the closing action a bit rough. Ruger American was the only smooth one. Lastly, I wish there were more options for test firing before buying. Some stores do, but most with ranges you have to use the designated rental gun. If I get another semiauto 22LR it'll be a Ruger 10/22, otherwise I'm sticking to revolvers and bolt action. That's just my preference. I'm not going to war with it. But if I were hunting, misfed ammo both ruins the shot and wastes ammo.
You are likely loading your rotary magazines incorrectly. First, I cleaned all my magazines with isopropyl alcohol and some swabs then let them dry. Then I wiped down the magazines with some Lucas Slick Mist pump spray for lubrication using swabs. I have never had any issues with FTF or FTE using various types of .22lr ammo. I mounted a cheap Weaver 3-9 x40 scope on it and had it zeroed within 10 shots at 50 yards hitting a 3-inch circle consistently. I was quite surprised with the accuracy and am pleased with my results with the Savage A22. No complaints from me on anything. Don't load magazines into the housing with the bolt forward. Always latch back the bolt, load the magazine into the well, then chamber the round.
I only see one brand of ammo being tested in this range video. With any new 22 LR Semi Auto I take 4 or 5 different brands of ammo to the range and find out which one it likes. Most 22 LR's are very finicky concerning the feeding of different brands of ammo .
We tried a total of 5 different brands guitar hillbilly. Every other 22 I have shoots CCI Mini Mags flawless. This gun is just a Lemon and a waste of money....Thanks for watching!
I'd send it back to Savage with that kind of Failure rate, theres no excuse for that. I bet that Rapid Fire Guy could get it to work though, at least his gun cycles lol.
Well that's no good... I was thinking about buying one of these since I can't find many Ruger 10/22s right now, but I guess I will wait to find a 10/22 for a good price.
I have the thumb hole version and it does the exact same thing. I’ve tinkered with it and I can’t get it to function properly. I own 2 A-17s and both work flawlessly. Wtf savage. I’m sticking with my marlin lol. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
But seriously, I feel I spent more time correcting miss feeds, failure to fire, more than shooting. At least through all this, I did zero my scope... what good does that do me if my rifle is not trustworthy...... Time for CZcams folks to show how to fix the issue........
Sent it to Savage twice . Now it seems to run decent and they said it was a machining issue. Quality control is definitely lacking on this model. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the warning. I was just looking at a similar model from Savage and I will just skip it. To many good options like the Winchester 9422 I found. I will just buy that gun. It’s more expensive and out of production, but 100 percent a known good firearm I got no time to be playing the customer service game.
Did you take the whole gun apart (everything) and degrease it and lube it. Savages come with storage grease not lubricant, as you fire them it turns into shellac
Yes I did , I also have sent it back to Savage then they sent it back and it worked better but still jammed up at least once every magazine. I have 7 other .22 lr semi autos and it is the only one that jams. I got a lemon.
Used 8 different types sent it back to Savage they said it was a magazine issue sent me 3 new mags only one of the three works and still about every 8 shots it jams. I gave up my friend has had the same issue as well as several viewers. Guess some people get good ones and some bad ones. This one is definitely bad. Thanks for watching!
I have one and I've noticed it feeds hollow points much better than round nose. I have a Cmmg kit for my AR and it will not feed any round nose bullets, the feed ramp is just to steep. Try hollow points.
I tried several different types of hollowpoints and sent it back to Savage. I got it back and now it will only jam every 7 to 9 shots. Mine is just junk but I am glad you got a good one! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews send it back again. Ive been thinking about buying the A22 PRECISION. I had an A22 before and it was great. Seems like from what I've been reading there are bad rifles in several different brands. Ruger,savage,marlin etc. Hope you get the kinks worked out bud
You must understand that the Savagearms A 22 is a mass production 22 Long Rifle Rifle and you can have a hit or miss product Since you did not buy the A 22 from a Second party that previously owned the A 22 you have Recourse to return the Mass Production Product back to the Savagearms Factory
I own lots and lots of rifles and they all work great . I sent this one back to Savage got it back a couple months later and it was slightly better but still didn't run even one mag without a malfunction.... I am sending it back again... Very disappointed and definitely cannot recommend it. Thanks for watching Steven!
yeah i got the exact same problem with my savage a22 precision thumbhole, keeps jamming a bullet in the chamber, sometimes it gets half out, sometimes it ejects and turns sideways and stays stuck in the chamber, worked fine for maybe 40 rounds, and then thats all i got, cleaned it, degreassed it, oiled it, cleaned it again, seems to work slightly better with the 25 round mag for some reasons but only sometimes, the 10 round that came with it, the spring that feeds the bullets out broke, i cant put more than 5 rounds in it anymore or it stays stuck and doesnt rotate anymore, garbage, i paid like 650$ for that damned thing (canada) last year
I have one and it's awesome . The butler creek 25 rd mag is a great upgrade mine came with one. Its easy to clean and it's accurate Sorry to hear your having issues with yours. I would recommend getting the 25 round mag and trying that
I have both A22 and A22 Precision both have the same mechanisms and parts just different stocks and extra $$. My A22 no issues so far, the Precision A22 does what you are experiencing using multiple mags and ammo. Savage sent me new pin, extractor claw and spring. It seems to work ok some jams though. I'm off to the range today for another test, if it fails i'll take it out to Savage (1 hr drive)
I saw a video saying most of the time it's the 10 round magazine and they used the Butler Creek 25 rd in the video without fails . I had the same problem in the Ruger 10/22 from a Walmart buy and I wonder if Savage might have the same issue that Ruger has with their gus they sell to certain stores maybe not being at the same QC level as others to meet a certain price point.
Man I thought you were shooting 22mag.my mistake. The a17and a22 were designed to the hmr and 22 mag for expansion reasons that's how fast it's cycling the round. Little fyi
Whatever you do Leo , just make sure you don't buy one of these!!! I'd pick a Ruger 10-22 , for the magnums I'd go with just about any rifle but savage lol... Thanks for watching!!!
@@countryboyreviews I spoke to Rebecca at Savage, Since I just bought the Savage A22, She assured me if I have any problems to call and ask for her, she said they will take the rifle back and fix it or replace any bad parts. I also asked about proprietary ammo, she said any higher speed ammo will work. I think you should call Rebecca at Savage 800-370-0708
I did they sent it back to me and it still didn’t work right. I took it to my gunsmith and he said it had clearance issues and worked on it and now it runs. Thanks for watching!
They definitely have some lemons out there! Thanks for watching! Please keep us updated with how your experience goes with customer service. Hopefully better than mine.
Join the crowd because their is a lot of suckers that bought a savage in good faith and ended up with a lemon.My A-17 has similar issues and I think it is all a mag issue.
Used CCI Stingers and CCI Mini Mags. Also used Remington and Winchester Super X as well as others. I tried at least 6 different types of ammo as well as 4 different high velocity rounds . The issue was in the machining of the parts , we finally gave up on it after sending it in to Savage and it coming back. They said it was in the “ machining of the parts “ and replaced some internals. Odd thing is usually manufacturers tell exactly what parts they replace but Savage did not. Anyway mine is just a lemon still jams at least once a magazine while all 7 of my other semi automatic .22’s from other brands run great! I’m sure a lot of these are good guns but I can’t recommend them since mine was a bad one. Thanks for watching!
Says on the opening that he had high hopes for it because he put a 50 dollar garbage scope on it. 😂😂😂😂
I've shoot 10,000 rounds in mine in 2 years no issues. And its a tac driver..
Nice... wish I could say the same about mine... it’s junk , lol. Thanks for watching!
Mine is also junk jamms up constantly wont eject all to regularly
@@billbill7894 mine is fantastic and shoots tacks, but the 10 rd rotary mag screws up and won't feed the bullets right
@@arthuregolf9575 yep found that out when the mag jammed up on me while loading it
Blueridge ga?
Shot hundreds of rounds thru my a22 and it’s running amazing!! No flaws yet can let all 10 rounds go in around 2 seconds if you can pull the trigger fast enough.
Glad you got a good one Noah! Thanks for watching!
I had that problem initially. After a good clean and re-oil it eliminated the issue, until I need another cleaning.
Mine is just junk. I tried just about everything even sending it back to the factory and it still is no good. I got a lemon. Thanks for watching Ty!
If you take some 220 sandpaper, sand the bottom of the barrel throat until it's smooth. Sand it as though you were trying to throat it but don't take a lot off. It has a sharp edge that is causing the problem.You'll need to wrap the sandpaper around a small dowel rod.
Thanks for watching and the info!
I feel your pain brother I have the Mark ll for a decade and have nothing but problems since day one send it to savage and when I got it back was the same the only reason I don't trade it in is because I don't want someone else to end up with the yunk
Tanks for the video take care and stay safe.
Thanks yes it’s sad because one of my favorite rifles is a Savage 93R17 and it’s been great. They really dropped the ball in this one though. Thanks for watching!
My rifle came with a Boyd stock and it shots perfectly no issue what so ever and it’s very accurate.
Which Boyd stock do you have? Is it the black Boyd varmint stock, or BNS wood laminate stock?
My gf has one. Great little gun. No feed problems, mag problems or anything. Shoots every bit as accurate as my ruger 10/22 target regardless of what brand ammo.
Wished I could say the same. Thanks for watching Jeff!
LOL wowww, that`s not saying much when you compare a 1022 to the savage.
I`ve never seen a 1022 shoot worth a phuck, and i`ve owned MANY 1022`s. I dont own them anymore.
Bought one April 2021, first time out I was using Federal bulk ammo, 70 rounds and 5 misfeds just like in the video. Second time out, tried to shoot 100 rounds of Federal bulk ammo again. Every third round in the 10 or 25 magazine was a bent misfed. The scope ring screw that tightens the rings to the base also sheared off during that outing. Found your video looking for answers to the misfeds and wished I had gone with a 10/22 like I had planned. Not wanting to give up on it, I asked around and was told to try mini mags, that the A22 likes round nose bullets. The second outing I had 5 CCI blazer left and it cycled those just fine, figured it couldn't hurt to try the mini mags. Third outing it fired 50 mini mags without a single issue, thought lets try the Federal bulk ammo again as it is readily available here. Fired 300 rounds without a single issue too. Only thing different between the second and third outing, I left the 10 round magazine filled with 10 rounds of Federal ammo for 2 months while debating on selling the gun. I saw a few videos when loading with the bolt closed, the rear of the magazine does not always sit properly, resulting in bent bullets. Now I ensure the bolt is locked open and the rear of the magazine is fully inserted, then slide my hand forward to lock the front in. Since the third outing, I have put a full box of 525 count bulk Federal ammo through the gun, without a single misfed. The only issue I have had was 1 stove pipe in 12F(-11C) weather. Never cleaned it between any of the outings.
Thanks for sharing that information and for watching! Glad yours is functioning now mine still is not after 2 trips to Savage and back they said they will send me a different gun. Hopefully it will cycle
I've seen many .22s choke on bulk lead round nose ammo, even my Ruger Mk Target doesn't feed it well. Like the firearm the ammo can be CRAPPY as well. But for my money I expect my firearms to shoot what I put in them. But I try to buy quality ammo. I'd save the uncoated lead for my bolt action.
Country boy did you ever get your new replacement A- 22 from Savage and if you did, how is it working would like to know.
I had to do some sanding work to the magazine rotor and feed ramp, works great now. Bought some new mags for it and they look redesigned.
Thanks for letting us know and for watching!
G'day. I know it's a 10 month old vid, but had to comment. I have the A22R (repeat lever for Australia) and I had 4 or 5 misfires in the first 20 rounds. I never had any feed jams though. I spoke to another guy at the range who said he had dramas if he loaded over 6 rounds in the mag. I had, by then, already taken to tapping the rear of the loaded mag gently on the table, stock, 50 round plastic ammo box (whatever), and I haven't had a single misfire in 1000 odd rounds. Worth a try. Shouldn't have to, but it works as a simple fix with mine. Have a second magazine that also works fine with a little tap, although it sounds like yours might be struggling with a bigger issue.
I purchased one last week and yet to have a problem. Loading the mag is a sketchy at 1st but you get use to it. Probably 500 rounds. I did start out with stingers there a little bit hotter may have help breaking in. But the Ruger 10/22 I had always had problems. So I feel like you got a dud.
My only issue is if I got a dud how many other duds are out there! Thanks for watching!!!
We just picked one up today. We’ll be taking it out next weekend to break it in and we will post a video about our experience.
Be sure to let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
I’ve had an a22 for several years. Never a problem. I have the a17 too, love it. Sorry for your issues.
Mine feeds everything except Mini Mags and only in the 10 round rotary magazine. Mini Mags work flawlessly with the Butler Creek 25 round magazine. Stingers and Standard Velocity work especially well in my rifle. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for letting us know and for watching!
Mine had feeding issues at first, i messed with the magazine ever so slightly and now it is flawless. I have also heard that you need to find the torque specs for that stock screw that holds it all together, if it is off by even a bit, it throws accuracy and causes feed issues in many .22 rifles.
Mine had clearance issues according to Savage , sent it in twice and now it runs decent so they definitely have a quality control problem on this model. Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews Makes sense, hopefully it gets rounded out, seems like such a great gun, least i love it for what it is hah
I have a savage bolt action 17hmr with an accu-trigger. It shot great right out of the box, just a base model. I bought a marlin xt-22 when they first came out. It was total garbage, I could never get it zeroed, it threw rounds all over. I sent it back, and they sent me a brand new one. That rifle left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I never fired the new one they sent me and traded for a S&W victory pistol. The pistol was great right out of the box. I have had a Marlin model 60 for 20+ years and it has been excellent.
Thanks for letting us know and for watching!
I love honest reviews.
Thanks for watching Chris!
Mine ran great for the first 1500-2000 rounds. Now I have either a misfeed, failure to feed, or weak hammer blows a couple times every 10 rounds. Even after cleaning and oiling the problem never goes away. I used the Butler creek 25 round mags and the 10 round mags, makes no difference. I was shooting cci 40gr.
Thanks for letting us know and for watching!
I bought mine 3 weeks ago, have shot 1000 rounds through it. Absolutely no problem at all.
Maybe bad ammo?
Mine is very very accurate too!
Tried 3 types of ammo . It is definitely the gun. Sent it back to Savage and after 7 weeks got it back and it still messes up ever 5 shots or so. My friend bought one and it is doing the same , glad you got one of the good ones Steven! Thanks for watching!
Take care sir!
@@countryboyreviews That just isn't right - you did everything you were supposed to and still have a completely unreliable gun. Sorry this happened to you. Had been thinking about one but based on your experience, I don't want to take the chance on luck of the draw. Thanks for your honest review.
Bought one used at the gun show its been flawless so far about 80 rounds through it
It's the magnum
I had the same problem but after i throughly cleaned the rifle and lube it lightly took ot back to the range and it fired flawlessly.
That's unfortunate. Mine eats led and shits brass like a mini gun straight out of a terminator movie. If it's any consolation, I've bought several firearms and unfortunately ended up with a bad one = feed issues, jams, stove pipes. (Ruger American 9mm, Ciappa .22 upper to name a few) These days it seems like everything I buy is hit or miss. Best of luck
Glad yours runs good Bill! Thanks for watching!
Just got back from the range. My A22 in 22WMR was jamming after every two rounds that I fired. Thanks for letting people know about this firearm's faults.
Thanks for sharing that Brad. Sorry yours messed up too , keep us updated and thanks for watching!
you see the yellow gunk near the clocking pin that eject the shell thing is call... I have this problem... I use brake cleaner to blast all those yellow gunk out. it came like that from the factory... I was having issue every shot but after cleaning all that yellow gunk out. I was able to fire about 9 shot out of 10. The last bullet, fte... but the gun is accurate out the box...
Thanks for watching!
On the bottom of the bolt directly under the firing pin hole there a 2 inch long bar take the sharp edges off it it’s job is to strip the round out of the magazine I’d say there’s a rough edge on that
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Im a gunsmith in australia we’ve had 30 or so a22 and a22r come in with the same problem it’s just when them machined the bar into bolt they left it rough other manufacturers use a cheaper way they use stamped piece of steel to strip the rounds in that case u just replace the stamped stripper
Bought this rifle recently. Put about 40 rounds through mine and now the firing pin fails to strike the brass completely.
I have a pretty good experience with the one I bought. I purchased it on Friday, May 21, at 6pm CST at a walmart, zeroed it with a Vortex Crossfire 2 at around 9pm using a flashlight to light up the target, and then bagged 3 out of 3 squirrels the next morning. No jam and hits where I aim the cross hair at.
Ammo used to zero was thunderbolt 36gr. After got a good group on the target, I switched to CCI 40gr and bull's-eye 2 out of 3 shots. When I bagged the squirrels, I was using BPR 40gr hp.
Glad you got a good one. Thanks for watching!
But you have to wait three days when buying a gun at Walmart company policy
@@traviswise2776 not true. I bought a 22lr rifle at walmart and took it home on the spot.
@@koumoua7878 it is true I’ve worked for Walmart 6 years, so whatever you wanna do with that is on you and In Oklahoma
If I were you I would call Savage and complain about your gun. I'm sure they'll help you out with this issue. I have several Savage rifles and they're all in good working condition.
I did and also have several Savage rifles , this particular one is definitely lacking quality control. They ended up replacing the rifle after I sent it back the second time.
Question? Did you disassemble clean and reassemble BEFORE firing? Or even After firing? I have 3 savage rifles. 1 .243 and 2 .22 WMR magnums, never ever an issue. But I ALWAYS disassemble, clean, lube, and reassemble BEFORE I shoot any firearm, new or used. Please tell me what you did before and after you shot it. Thank you, Jeff Reeves Venice Florida
I actually have over 50 rifles Jeff and even worked as a gunsmith about 10 years ago. I sent this rifle back to Savage and they said it was a clearance issue . They sent it back supposedly fixed but it still won’t cycle . I actually hunt with a Savage Axis 2 XP 6.5 Creedmoor and it is flawless but this A22 is definitely a bad rifle. I started this channel to give real unbiased reviews and unfortunately I cannot recommend this rifle. And yes I strip and clean every firearm in my collection Jeff . Thanks for watching!
Hi , the issue is the magazine, there is a new style mag that replaces the ones you are using, the new ones have a new designed lever. Mine was the same , so got new mags from savage and now have not had a jam since, I use 42 grain Eley contact subs
Thanks for the info Paul! Customer Service time said 8 to 12 weeks so when I get it back I'll do an update!! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews mine went back to UK importers, that took a few weeks, the annoying part is savage knew about it and the UK importers where waiting for the new style mags to arrive in UK. But now with new mags it's sport on, not had a jam , I have the target thumbhole version
I got the updated mag and still have non stop jamming issues
@@andysinn8655 that's a shame , mine no problem since using upgraded mags. What I have noticed is the amount of swarf like material both lead and brass, I think the action is still all to Sharp, I think it could all do with a polish.
@@PA.1072 tons of little brass particals all over inside the gun
I have an A22, it works flawlessly with most ammo, BUT, I did find that there is some ammo that would not work worth spit, Try different ammo Country Boy, they all can’t be bad…
I did Bob I just got a lemon. Thanks for watching!
Hate that for you, I would feel the exact same way you do..
BUT
4 months on mine, no problems. Bought another for my son, 2 months now, no problems. CCI Mini-Mags, and Winchester X 38gr, they will misfire in the first 100, and yes they did bend some cases, but it cleared up after wiping the factory grease out, and a proper gun oil cleaning. My old Marlin model 60 was no better, my Ruger 10/22 was only easier to find accessories, and it flat out-shoots my Savage model 64 in every way. For my money, the A22 has been a really good gun so far.
I will add that there is a definite difference in these 2 guns. Mine is an FV SR Overwatch .22LR 47240. It runs well, easy to disassemble, and easy to reassemble with the scope mounted. My son's 47200 looks exactly like yours, runs well, but the bolt sticks during disassembly, and doesn't want to fit back in the receiver on re-assembly, but when you hold your mouth just right, and the spirit wolf howls, it slips right in like it's got hair around it or something.. The scope isn't in the way, we have tall mounts on his, medium height rings on mine. I'll be doing a little file work on it if it doesn't clear up on it's own, as we break it in.
Reading through the other comments, I went back and tried to see which magazine you're using, My A22's have the spring and lever release. The bent plastic clip is the same as on my Savage Axis 22-250 magazine, it feeds perfectly, but I have also seen comments about the bent plastic clip magazines not working properly on the A22's, and some complain of failures with the B22's with plastic clip magazines.
Best of luck Country Boy!
Thanks for sharing that TomCat65! I'm still waiting to get it back from Savage , I must say I wasn't that impressed with the customer service since it has been there a month already lol. Thanks for watching!
Hang in there, lol.. Everything is crazy right now!
My 10/22 did this too....was an absolute nightmare when breaking it in. Runs much better now after putting 2kish is rounds through it though buy man I honestly can't stand Ruger now because I got such a finicky gun.
Thanks for letting us know Chris!
1022`s suck. I`ve owned many, not a one was worth buying.
💥💥💥💥💥💥I'm wondering if you shoot it freehanded or from a barricade position if it will run ? The pressure your putting on the mag while on a sandbag or rest.....could very well be your problem, it would reposition the second round loaded. My Ruger was doing something very similar.
I’ve had a slight issue with REM golden bullets. Fed American Eagles haven’t done it, yet. AE have had an issue with hanging up in the chamber. Just this morning I had one hang up and on the next shot attempt, the firing pin broke.
Let's not forget that guns are like cars or almost anything else you buy some times you can get a bad one that's what the warrenty is for just in case you get a bad one. You might want to take it back and get another one and then give it a try.
I actually recieved it back from Savage after 7 weeks and it still has an issue about every other magazine. My friend actually has one that he has had issues with as well. I think even if there are alot of good ones out there that it is the right thing to do to inform people there is a decent chance they could get a bad one and be disappointed like me. I have a few Ruger 10-22 rifles and they have been flawless for not much more money so I'm going to have to stay with the two thumbs down on this rifle. Thank you so much for watching Patrina!
A gun should be safe and free of malfunctions and should be held to a higher standard of quality and reliability than other products.Even if it is a .22 your life my rely on a non malfunctioning gun.What if you had a home invasion and your gun fails to perform?
I had my A22 jam a couple of times, then it seemed to smooth out. My bigger issue was the charge bolt broke off when checking the action. Savage is sending me a new part but this rifle has less than 30 rounds through it. I thought I did a decent product search before I bought this rifle, but apparently not. Seems to have lots of issues....
I bought one in 2019 new in box wood not cycle. Sent it back to factory. They said they couldn't find any problems still wood not cycle 2 shoots jam 2 shots jam sent it back 2nd time with a nasty note to the manager they sent me a new rifle 3 months later and it worked great not happy with service department
Thanks for letting us know Donald. And thanks for watching!
Love my BL22 go lever man! Shorts longs good ammo, bad ammo shoots it all.
Thanks for watching Adam!
Didn't want one, now I really don't! Good content brother.
Definitely not reliable! Thanks for watching DW!!!
Not a one of their guns are that good. Do yourself a big favor, buy a better brand. You`ll be glad you did.
Need to shoot heavier rounds. Like 35 40 grains. Mine had some probs with low grainage. Mine eats pretty much everything and super accurate. But ya I had a little bit of problems at first. I cleaned the shit out of it and shoot little heavier rounds and she rips!
I’ve tried 5 different types of ammo and still doesn’t cycle... glad yours runs Jimmy!
@@countryboyreviews bummer you got a lemon man! Great video!
I purchased a savage a22 wmr back in December and I have yet shot the full 10 round mag through that rifle. I sent it back to the store I purchased it at and they sent it back to savage TWICE! Savage keeps claiming that the rifle is fine but it misdeeds, doesn’t eject the round, and even sometimes doesn’t even fire. And yet savage claims that the rifle is perfectly fine. I have other firearms that work perfectly fine made from savage and I cannot believe this one is giving me this many problems and that they claim that the rifle is in perfect working order the past two times it got sent back
Sorry Dino , the quality control is horrible on these rifles. Thanks for watching!
I bought the same gun a few months ago and it fired 10 rounds of cci stinger 32 grain bullets but the charging handle broke on the last 10th round.
i would like to see you send it back to savage to test customer service. imo you have nothing to lose.
I am definitely going to , I will update soon as I get it back! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews any updates on their customer service on this, if you did...
@@1971gar Still waiting on it to come back Steven.
i have one that the bolts don't close, bends bullet and fires, ruptured casing??
My savage A 22 Magnum does the exact same thing yours does with multiple magazines and multiple different types of ammunition I bought mine brand new as well
Savage A22 mag
GOT THE SAME ISSUE! Started off ok then after couple visits to the range it just jam up every 2 shot.
Thanks for watching!
i just got a new a22,,,piece of crap,,,,40 rounds , then the charging handle breaks off,,prior to that several jams, several no fires...i knew better than to buy a savage, but i did it,,,wont be buying anymore....took the gun to the local gun shop,,told them if you give me $200 for the $388 savage, it had the fancy laminated stock,,,i would trade for their cz 22...they said they would do that,,,we traded, and i gave them $379 boot....money well spent..
Sorry you had to deal with that. Thanks for watching !
All ranges are different but my favorite doesn't allow rapid fire. Occasionally someone will show up and do it but the range master will warn them. I've even seen a guy thrown off the range because he was warned twice, third time he was told to leave . It's a public (county) range, the club ranges just don't have the budget to have full time range masters
1st: I know the video is almost 3yr old.
2nd: read the comments, it seems to be split on good or bad. Doesn't instill confidence.
3rd: makes me think 22cal is a hobby gun that needs to be tweaked, based on several comments.
4th: what brand(s) ammo did you use? In my new Henry AR-7 it misfed all Aguila and CCi types, but shoots Remington Golden and Winchester SuperX perfect. (I'm working on an experiment to test nearly a dozen other types).
5th: I'm looking for a 22WMR and I'm leaning towards bolt action, the B22F or G specifically, but another youtuber suggested filing a point on the bolt to make it smoother action. Another reason I'm starting to think 22 as a hobby gun. I went to a store and checked several bolt actions in 22 and 17 and sure enough there is a sharp edge making the closing action a bit rough. Ruger American was the only smooth one.
Lastly, I wish there were more options for test firing before buying. Some stores do, but most with ranges you have to use the designated rental gun. If I get another semiauto 22LR it'll be a Ruger 10/22, otherwise I'm sticking to revolvers and bolt action. That's just my preference. I'm not going to war with it. But if I were hunting, misfed ammo both ruins the shot and wastes ammo.
Bought the same one around the time you did and I have the same issue.. can’t even get all rounds out of the rotary mag without having MULTIPLE jams
You are likely loading your rotary magazines incorrectly. First, I cleaned all my magazines with isopropyl alcohol and some swabs then let them dry. Then I wiped down the magazines with some Lucas Slick Mist pump spray for lubrication using swabs. I have never had any issues with FTF or FTE using various types of .22lr ammo. I mounted a cheap Weaver 3-9 x40 scope on it and had it zeroed within 10 shots at 50 yards hitting a 3-inch circle consistently. I was quite surprised with the accuracy and am pleased with my results with the Savage A22. No complaints from me on anything. Don't load magazines into the housing with the bolt forward. Always latch back the bolt, load the magazine into the well, then chamber the round.
I have one never had a problem with it never failed me straight shooter
How many ammo types you try in this?
I only see one brand of ammo being tested in this range video. With any new 22 LR Semi Auto I take 4 or 5 different brands of ammo to the range and find out which one it likes. Most 22 LR's are very finicky concerning the feeding of different brands of ammo .
We tried a total of 5 different brands guitar hillbilly. Every other 22 I have shoots CCI Mini Mags flawless. This gun is just a Lemon and a waste of money....Thanks for watching!
Have you tried using your warranty?
A shit ton of filing and grinding around the breach hopefully will fix my lemon a22
I'd send it back to Savage with that kind of Failure rate, theres no excuse for that. I bet that Rapid Fire Guy could get it to work though, at least his gun cycles lol.
I did twice and it still doesn’t run right. Thanks for watching!
Well that's no good... I was thinking about buying one of these since I can't find many Ruger 10/22s right now, but I guess I will wait to find a 10/22 for a good price.
I sent it back to Savage to get fixed way over a month ago and still no response. I would definitely get the Ruger Trevor! Thanks for watching!
Now shoot 40 grains or even 30 it's like shooting 15.5 grain 17hmr out of an a17 you just don't start out with the lower grain ammo
I have the thumb hole version and it does the exact same thing. I’ve tinkered with it and I can’t get it to function properly. I own 2 A-17s and both work flawlessly. Wtf savage. I’m sticking with my marlin lol. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Mine still doesn’t work after getting it back from Savage. Buyer beware for sure... Thanks for watching!
I bought a pair of A22mags for my kids a few years back. Unfortunately, BOTH guns do the exact same thing. Needless to say, they sit in a safe unused.
Sorry Larry mine is still broken as well. Thanks for watching!
Ok I'm surprised. I clicked on a random CZcams video and I'm seeing the shooting range I go to. What a surprise
Awesome Jonathan maybe I’ll see you out there sometime! Thanks for watching!
I also picked up the A22 mag same day and its a jam-o-matic waiting on the CCI A22MAG ammo to come in and see if it will cycle.
But seriously, I feel I spent more time correcting miss feeds, failure to fire, more than shooting. At least through all this, I did zero my scope... what good does that do me if my rifle is not trustworthy...... Time for CZcams folks to show how to fix the issue........
Sent it to Savage twice . Now it seems to run decent and they said it was a machining issue. Quality control is definitely lacking on this model. Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews 👍
Change mag see if it helps! Savage magazines suck but the guns are normal awesome!
I did still doesn’t work Emmanuel. Thanks for watching!
Don't use super cheap ammo, use higher velocity ammo and it's more reliable
I’ve used 7 different types of ammo , it is the rifle itself malfunctioning. Thanks for watching!
I've got an a22 pro varmint and it will will run anything through it. I'm sorry for you that you're having this problem
Thanks Billy! And thanks for watching!
Thanks for the warning. I was just looking at a similar model from Savage and I will just skip it. To many good options like the Winchester 9422 I found. I will just buy that gun. It’s more expensive and out of production, but 100 percent a known good firearm I got no time to be playing the customer service game.
I think you made a wise decision. Thanks for watching Alan!
Did you take the whole gun apart (everything) and degrease it and lube it. Savages come with storage grease not lubricant, as you fire them it turns into shellac
Yes I did , I also have sent it back to Savage then they sent it back and it worked better but still jammed up at least once every magazine. I have 7 other .22 lr semi autos and it is the only one that jams. I got a lemon.
Thanks for watching!
I suggest using different ammo cause some 22's like certain ammo
Used 8 different types sent it back to Savage they said it was a magazine issue sent me 3 new mags only one of the three works and still about every 8 shots it jams. I gave up my friend has had the same issue as well as several viewers. Guess some people get good ones and some bad ones. This one is definitely bad. Thanks for watching!
I have one and I've noticed it feeds hollow points much better than round nose. I have a Cmmg kit for my AR and it will not feed any round nose bullets, the feed ramp is just to steep. Try hollow points.
I tried several different types of hollowpoints and sent it back to Savage. I got it back and now it will only jam every 7 to 9 shots. Mine is just junk but I am glad you got a good one! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews send it back again. Ive been thinking about buying the A22 PRECISION. I had an A22 before and it was great. Seems like from what I've been reading there are bad rifles in several different brands. Ruger,savage,marlin etc. Hope you get the kinks worked out bud
@@Munchboxkid Thanks for watching! I definitely got a lemon.
You must understand that the Savagearms A 22 is a mass production 22 Long Rifle Rifle and you can have a hit or miss product Since you did not buy the A 22 from a Second party that previously owned the A 22 you have Recourse to return the Mass Production Product back to the Savagearms Factory
I own lots and lots of rifles and they all work great . I sent this one back to Savage got it back a couple months later and it was slightly better but still didn't run even one mag without a malfunction.... I am sending it back again... Very disappointed and definitely cannot recommend it. Thanks for watching Steven!
yeah i got the exact same problem with my savage a22 precision thumbhole, keeps jamming a bullet in the chamber, sometimes it gets half out, sometimes it ejects and turns sideways and stays stuck in the chamber, worked fine for maybe 40 rounds, and then thats all i got, cleaned it, degreassed it, oiled it, cleaned it again, seems to work slightly better with the 25 round mag for some reasons but only sometimes, the 10 round that came with it, the spring that feeds the bullets out broke, i cant put more than 5 rounds in it anymore or it stays stuck and doesnt rotate anymore, garbage, i paid like 650$ for that damned thing (canada) last year
I have one and it's awesome . The butler creek 25 rd mag is a great upgrade mine came with one.
Its easy to clean and it's accurate
Sorry to hear your having issues with yours. I would recommend getting the 25 round mag and trying that
Still waiting to get it back from Savage ! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad that was 3 years ago...✌
Check the extractor spring, from your pic it looks like it has moved out of it correct position.
Thanks I’ll check it out Dave! Thanks for watching!
I have both A22 and A22 Precision both have the same mechanisms and parts just different stocks and extra $$. My A22 no issues so far, the Precision A22 does what you are experiencing using multiple mags and ammo. Savage sent me new pin, extractor claw and spring. It seems to work ok some jams though. I'm off to the range today for another test, if it fails i'll take it out to Savage (1 hr drive)
I sent my savage bolt 22 back still wont extract. Bolt action
I saw a video saying most of the time it's the 10 round magazine and they used the Butler Creek 25 rd in the video without fails . I had the same problem in the Ruger 10/22 from a Walmart buy and I wonder if Savage might have the same issue that Ruger has with their gus they sell to certain stores maybe not being at the same QC level as others to meet a certain price point.
my savage A 22 MAG IS A PEACE OF JUNK IT HAS NEVER RAN WELL SENT IT BACK TO THEM NOTHING HAS CHANGED PEACE O SHIT.
Man I thought you were shooting 22mag.my mistake. The a17and a22 were designed to the hmr and 22 mag for expansion reasons that's how fast it's cycling the round. Little fyi
I got a b22 and the only issue I have is finding spare mags
Thanks for watching Lars!
My a17 is the same right out of the box tore it down cleaned it greased it and still does it not happy.
My money is on the mag. Regardless, did you reach out to Savage?
Mag issue. Simple fix. I like your hat.
Try the new single shot A22 lol damit man I kn that was aggravating as hell
I almost threw it away lol. Thanks for watching!
Compare with others 22 wmr. To see which one buy
Whatever you do Leo , just make sure you don't buy one of these!!! I'd pick a Ruger 10-22 , for the magnums I'd go with just about any rifle but savage lol... Thanks for watching!!!
Kids never NEVER ALLOWED AT A GUN RANGE!! IM TALKING TODDLER'S!
Think I'll get a cz 512 22 mag thanks for video
Good choice. I've got the cz515 in 22wmr and it's amazing.

did you get it fixed. I just bought one.. Now I might just sell it.
It still jams Benk61! Thanks for watching!
@@countryboyreviews
I spoke to Rebecca at Savage, Since I just bought the Savage A22, She assured me if I have any problems to call and ask for her, she said they will take the rifle back and fix it or replace any bad parts. I also asked about proprietary ammo, she said any higher speed ammo will work. I think you should call Rebecca at Savage 800-370-0708
Mine does this all the time. The mags even drop out at random.
Mine's great. Send that one back. Simple.
I did they sent it back to me and it still didn’t work right. I took it to my gunsmith and he said it had clearance issues and worked on it and now it runs. Thanks for watching!
Have you sent it in to savage?
Twice , still doesn’t run right. Thanks for watching!
Just bought mine today. 1st magazine it jammed twice and the charging handle broke off.
They definitely have some lemons out there! Thanks for watching! Please keep us updated with how your experience goes with customer service. Hopefully better than mine.
Join the crowd because their is a lot of suckers that bought a savage in good faith and ended up with a lemon.My A-17 has similar issues and I think it is all a mag issue.
Guys get a bolt action mark ii and you’ll enjoy it
That’s a very nice gun Sevak! Thanks for watching!
Quality control issues. I HATE having to correct new firearms for reliability or accuracy issues.
Had mine 5 years never had an issue with it.
Where you able to get it fixed?
Sorry no it still doesn’t cycle right . Thanks for watching!
You need higher velocity rounds or it’ll jam up
Used CCI Stingers and CCI Mini Mags. Also used Remington and Winchester Super X as well as others. I tried at least 6 different types of ammo as well as 4 different high velocity rounds . The issue was in the machining of the parts , we finally gave up on it after sending it in to Savage and it coming back. They said it was in the “ machining of the parts “ and replaced some internals. Odd thing is usually manufacturers tell exactly what parts they replace but Savage did not. Anyway mine is just a lemon still jams at least once a magazine while all 7 of my other semi automatic .22’s from other brands run great! I’m sure a lot of these are good guns but I can’t recommend them since mine was a bad one. Thanks for watching!
