i bought my son a stevens 512 golden pigion 12 gauge with some of his Christmas money and its been trouble from day 1. the following is a review i put on bass pros website on this gun.
it is only my opinion from my experience.. if your a savage / stevens fan please dont take it personally.

We bought one of these guns on or about December 27 or 28 of 2011. it was bought for my 13 year old son for Christmas and it shot very good for him the second weekend in january the first time he had it out skeet shooting. and the next weekend the fireing pin on the top barrel broke. got a major run around from bass pro in prattville alabama. had to go through a local dealer to get it sent back to savage.
Savage requested we put a letter in the box with the gun and we did, the letter read ( the firing pin on the top barrel is broken and there is a problem with the Safety on the gun it has alot of play in it and has scratched the area around the safety please fix this as this is my 13 year old sons gun.)
So after a 3 to 4 week wait it arrived back, that was 2 weeks ago and today we went to a sporting clay course and after 12 shells the gun starts having issues again. the gun actually went off when he put a shell in each barrel and about the time the barrells closed the gun went off. down range thankfully know one was hurt. so i took the gun from him and loaded the barrels and closed them and again the gun went off firing down range and luckly know one was injured.
i am done with Bass Pro and Savage already called my attorney at home and off to court we shall go.

So if you see a special on NBC Dateline you heard it here first

Let me get this right, top firing pin broke, safety loose, 3-4 week wait, top firing pin fixed, loose safety fixed. Gun goes boom when you close the action, no one injured, lawyer called. Firstly, I know nothing about this gun. Seems to me when they repaired the loose safety they misadjusted it or did not tighten it down. Call em, send it back, they'll fix it. Called a lawyer for what? Do you have any damages? NO! Is it irritating? Absolutely.

Bass Pro? I am not sure what their firearm return policy is. Many big box stores do not take returns on guns. That is why I normally do not buy firearms from them but buy from a local gun store where you actually get good customer service and help with returns when needed.

To clarify savage returned the gun with a print out that said the replaced the firing pin on top barrel and said there was nothing wrong with the safety.
in the letter sent with the gun when it went back just after it was 30 days old, (said please fix the safety this gun is my 13 year old sons gun).
and they had a employee of savage work on the gun who must have been super incompatant.
Please understand its not about money all i want is the money i have spent on the gun and shipping to and from factory, my son has told me he will not touch that gun again. its not like i dont know anything about guns, I have over 35 long guns alone.

Yes, take everyone to court. Go America!
