Curious if anyone has a Savage chambered in 7 BC and if the sticky bolt issue is a long term issue? Gear Vault on YT posted his issues with it, but I want to see if that's consistent for all Savages now that Federal has started releasing better lots. Only interested in Savage because they're the only company that makes a lefty gun in 7 BC.
 
I have the Savage Trail Hunter Lite 7BC 16". I have had zero issues with a sticky bolt. Only shooting the Federal 170g TA. I've probably shot 80 rounds all together? I also have two other buddies with the same rifle and have experienced zero issues.....they are shooting the federal fusions.

I've watched Gear Vault videos and it really seems like he just got a lemon and is now fishing the problem for views.

How’s the accuracy been so far? I’m torn between this config and an x bolt in 7 PRC. Love the action and accuracy in the x bolt but love the ballistics of the 7 BC better. If the savage shoots tight and smooth I’m in
