    Got my Savage A17 HMR back from repair today. Really quick turn around time. Makes me wonder if its really fixed? But they did ship it back with 100 empty cases they claim to have fired flawlessly? SO...

    Did they claim to have fixed anything, or did they just test fire those rounds and didn't find any problems?

    Wish I knew? They sent back a new mag in a sealed package and the old one with 100 empties? Had a sheet of paper in box but no notes or any thing? I am gonna call them here in a sec.

    Talked to Savage they replaced the fire assembly and recoil spring and gave me a new mag plus polished the feed ramp and put 100 rounds through it then cleaned it.

    Sounds like pretty good service, what was the turnaround?

    I started a thread about the A17.
    Also I love the .17 HMR caliber and have a few but this A17 was suppose the be the GOD of reliable semi auto HMR's. Has been a flop so far but the 2 week turn around time and service from Savage was amazing. And they answer the phone in English!!!

    You know...once you see what a Sneaky Pete holster looks like, they're not so sneaky. Especially when it looks like your carrying a tablet on your belt.

    I have wondered what they really look like. Of course, I know some people that their phone looks like a tablet.

    At a customers house and they have the news on and they show a story from just this morning, a news reporter in Virginia I think was doing a live interview and then you hear gun shots and screaming, guy shot and killed the reporter and camera man on live TV. The camera dropped and they got a still shot of the guy pointing the gun at them. Pretty crazy video.

    Watched it this morning as well, crazy stuff. The latest I read was that it was a former employee of the news station.

    Seems like TennJeep and some of the other mods have been working overtime fixing the for sale ads lately.
    See a lot of fixes popping up on the Tapatalk app under the timeline view.

    So your job allows to browse the forum all day and buy all sorts of bad ass competition guns? Are y'all hiring?
