Doing a bit more research I see there is a new revised magazine that removes that junky plastic looped release mechanism and goes back to a button type lock/release.
I'm hoping Savage is sending that to me. The current plastic tab on the magazine is the problem. If you dont pay attention and insert the magazine poorly it will jam. You'll have extreme problem removing the magazine. And since it is jammed the bullet pickup will also not work. You must insert the heal of the magazine in first and then push the plastic tab portion up.
The new redesigned magazine fixed that issue or do I saw on Youtube.
I'll keep you posted to what I get.
