I got my Savage 93 yesterday. My first impression was a cheap poorly assembled rifle. Stock is loose and poorly fit with the barrel rubbing at the 3-4" at the front on one side. The bolt has made a couple of mini notches where it drops down the ramp to lock in. The machine surface of the ramp in the receiver is actually burring up a bit. The stamped gun info and serial # is rough enough to snag on.
BUT!! I sent a couple rounds through it to see how it handled the bullets in the mag and how the ejector worked. Ejector works fine, the mag will need a little rubbing on. My first shot was at a squirrel about 40yds that presented itself coincidentally. I sighted across the scope mounts and down the barrel. It doesn't have sights and I haven't mounted a scope yet. The squirrel exploded with a CCI TNT round. The cosmetics and the bolt fitting will be no big deal really. It shoots and hits what is in front of it. I'll rub on it today and mount the Leupold Freedom 3x9 today. Squirrels beware. I think this will be a very nice shooter.
