I had one of the first 220-and the issue i believe is fixed by Savage installing stronger springs.
The mag issue is there since day one,same with the bolt issue.
I learned to work the bolt-no issue anymore.
I will try the stacking advice next year( on the range first).Truth to be told-having only one shell in the magazine also did not help, way back.
Ever since i use my gun as a single shot .First shot counts mostly anyway.........
But hey-i learned by now to load the gun pretty damn fast:ashamed:(spare shells sitting just "right there where they are close by").
The gun is awesome otherwise.
