Did you get your bolt issue sorted out? Is it even fixable, or are you just going to flip your rifle?
I haven't yet, but after consulting with Mystic Precision, this normal behavior and I'm just being too picky. A good cleaning, some lube and some break-in time will cure it. He says 'timing' the bolt might further improve it. Like he said, the Savage is designed and build to be a rugged-use rifle.
Is there much difference between the Savage 10TR and 10T? I've seen the 10T for sale at Cabellas in the US.

Ok, that’s a relief because when I took the rifle to the range on Monday, I thought I noticed similar symptoms as you described, but didn’t have any issues last night when I was mucking around with it.

They’re calling it a Cabela’s Exclusive, but looks to me like exact same specs as the 10TR. Probably limited as it’s not available through their online store, so limited run, just like the 10TR. If you’re lucky enough to find a Cabela’s location that actually has one, you still can’t bring it back here, which kind of blows because they also have a nice Umarex MP-5 (.22lr) on sale for $499, down from $599.

Nothing drives up sales like telling someone it's limited
Well, I heard from one retailer that only 1,000 of these were coming into Canada, and recently I heard the figure was actually only 500. I wouldn’t doubt it though, because some of the forums in the states are saying that 10TR is about as hard to track down as a sasquatch.
Where did you hear this? I'm not trying to call you out, just curious how exclusive my new toy is...
I looked into the Cabela's model 10 and the specs looked identical, but I could be wrong. I believe it was a limited production run for the Cabela's version as well. But who's to say they will/won't make more in the future? My biggest motivator was not how rare it is but the fact that it was priced so nice.

Sorry guys, a real noob trying to get into precision shooting.
At the Sportsman's Show, the Vortex rep knew a lot about the 10TR. He was saying that it was best to replace the 0 MOA rail with a 20 MOA rail. Seems like there were some messages here saying the same thing, especially since my goal is to shoot 1000m. (It's a goal! )
I see that Wolverine has them. Just can't understand what a short and long action is? And what the 10 TR is. Please help me out! Thanks for any advice in advance!

On a Savage it is pretty easy, models with a two digit number are short action. Example: Savage 10 = Short action, Savage 110 = Long action.
Further, 10/110 models are standard finish (black/plastic), 14/114 are the hunters (wood), 16/116 are stainless
Those are the basics. After that you have abbreviations after the model number (ex. 10TR) to explain what configuration the rifle is

Thanks for the clarification, I was wondering about that too.
