Default picky Savage / Anschultz .22

A couple days ago I bought a used Savage/Anchultz .22, model 164 Sporter, good condition and at a good price, never saw one before, very nice checkering and Monte Carlo cheekpiece---I don't think this is a problem, but it will only chamber Federal .40 grain Lightning ammo. The bolt will not close on CCI, Win Western, Remington Golden or even the Federal copper clad. Has to be the Federal Lightnings, then it works fine. How's that for finicky? I guess it's not a problem as long as I can stock up on the Lightning ammo--it has a Tasco on it which is not one of my favorites, but I'll try it and see what happens--If it shoots as good as it looks, I'll be real pleased--ever hear of this with a .22 before?---------John
