    Savage axis 17 remington

    I went back to fresh and put the gun together from scratch again. I ended up shimming the magazine catch with a copper brake washer ground to fit to make the rounds hit the feed ramp. It works pretty decent now with an unmolested magazine.

    Budget .17 Remington Build

    I fixed mine. I shimmed the mag catch with a copper brake washer ground down to fit. The rounds werent hitting the feed ramp. Once I lowered the fromt of the mag enough to get the round to hit the feed ramp, it was pretty smooth sailing

    17 remington savage

    Im quite fond of the design actually. Im 99% sure this entire issue is to blame on the boyds stock that was inletted too deep. I have 5 other savages that all feed fantastic. I dont like these 204/223 mags but all the rest work perfect. The 204/223 mags have a large plastic spacer at the rear...

    17 remington savage

    It has the exact same staggerfeed mag as a 10 actually. Really there's only a few differences in the 2. The axis is just the more simple, less refined version. Almost like savage sat down and said ok what is the absolute least we can do to an action and it still function lol.

    17 remington savage

    Long story short, I started fresh and came to the conclusion the front of the mag was seated too far i n the stock as the rounds were not touching the feed ramp. I made 3 shims to go around the narrow end of the mag catch. I also grabbed an UNMOLESTED magazine and threw them in. I saw...

    17 remington savage

    Savage magazines are stagger feed, not like a cz. I bought 4 mags to experiment with and Ive bent the feed lips in any and every configuration imaginable to make this gun feed. Its not the magazine. Like I said before, Fred at sharp shooter supply garunteed a chamfer to be the answer for my...

    17 remington savage

    I have an 11 223 I bought for the action for another project. I screwed the 17 barrel on it as well. Its most certainly the barrel, not the action. The axis is a "mid-length" savage. Its essentially the same other but less refined. Bolt heads are the same. Magazines are the same for long or...
