Not a good day for Savage Arms
The article is about muzzle loaders. And mention at least 3 different cases.
The rifle shown, does not appear to be a muzzle loader (the bolt is throwing me off there).
Savage claims that people are blending powder for some reason and that is causing the blowups.
Sounds confusing to me. Is it a product failure, or misuse? Can a forensic chemist isolate whether powder was blended?
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...

That was my first thought as well. You slightly over charge with black powder odds of big bang are low. But it doesn't take much with smokeless.

There are close to a dozen "blow ups". The pics all look eerily similar with the point of breaking (explosion) at the recoil lug, Savage nut, and breech plug location. The Savage M10ML's were produced from 2000 until 2010 when they were discontinued. Savage offered a M10ML II in 2012 that was a special order only. IIRC, sales were poor and that too was discontinued. Remington currently produces a bolt action ML, not sure who else does.Last edited by Cajun Blake; 12-06-2017, 01:47 PM.
