270 wsm that isn't
 

I bought a brand new savage 16flhss in 270wsm, at least that's what the stamp read.
Turns out that it's chambered as a 300wsm. would it have any value as a collectable?

Did you contact savage? Might worth somthing free from them. good thing it wasnt the other way around:nonono2:

yes. in the process now.

Look forward to hearing what Savage has to say about that.

........ "Oops".....!!

"we're terribly sorry Earl was very drunk that day....or was it Mike? hmmmmmm......"

they don't know how it got threw all the inspections.
But I must say they are being realy good about. Gave me another new one, plus, Burris 3X9X40mm scope mounted and bore sighted. And a couple boxes of ammo.
So i have nothing bad to say about them.:biggrin:

Guess the quality control person was sick that day?

Did you have to return it to Savage or the dealer you bought it from?

Thats awesome, glad to hear Savage has gone the extra mile to fix this.

BTW, were you planning on putting a nicer scope than the Burris they gave you :)

had to return it to the nearest warrenty center, 3 hour round trip.
would love to put on a better scope, to get the full potential out of the rifle. when i get so extra cash saved up after x-mass

Dang, they had better make it right eh? :eek2:

I have never seen that happen before with any rifle. I'm sure it does from time to time though. Just think if it had been marked "300 wsm" and been chambered for the 270 wsm. You may have had a bad day. Glad everything worked out.
