Lots of good info here. My thing is as long as Savage is willing to try and fix it ( so far) and given that the rifle is still in Ontario at the warranty place I cannot do a thing to it.
My impression with the warranty place is they don`t seem to be to interested in trying any of the things mentioned here.
I have been inquiring about Pre-fit barrels. I have not really heard anything much back. other then the / major players in pre-fits in the US will not ship here.
My other impression with the couple of answers I have gotten from barrel makers is my cost would be a major amount of cash. I have checked with Mystic Precision and Jerry gave me some things to have checked and I passed them on to the warranty place, but seems they are more interested in saying the problem is my fault. latest is rusty chamber They are the ones whom tried to polish the chamber which would lead me to believe it is their fault not mine.
They also said it was dirty which would be true as it went back in the condition it was in when last fired. It had been Cleaned and oiled then wiped clean before firing .
It acts like tight chamber I suggested they do a chamber casting and do some measuring but no reply on that.
One thing that I have observed when checking the chamber as best as I could was it seems part of the chamber is a different color looks like a dime sized part is way darker then the rest. Fault in the barrel?
So as it stands I am waiting on Savage Canada and Grech Outdoors the warranty place.
When it comes back and if it still has problems and If I cannot get any satisfaction from either party I will be looking at all these suggestions and looking for a way to make them happen. I think first thing will to take the good barrel from my BAS-T and install it on the FCP. If that is a fix for the problem I will go on from there.
I was so sick of all this I went and bought an other Savage FCP-SR from an other CG Nutter which so far works fine.
