I see this video is seven years old however I am about ready to purchase one of these so thank you for this video. This is an excellent, well done, very helpful video.
Saw one at my local and they’re asking $399!!! What did you end up giving for yours? I walked out with an old 10/22, a new savage mark ii with bases, rings and bushnell banner dusk to dawn 3-9x40 and a VERY good condition 1974 marlin 49dl. I mean very good.
Great video I appreciate your time doing this for your customers one minor issue that it's hard to see with the camera angles is how you have to take the spring in the back of the firearm under the dust cover and rotate the spring retainer to the 6:00 position it's very hard to see you might want to change the camera angle to get that a little better shot of that process
I've purchased 3 Savage guns in the last 30 days. The a17 was the biggest letdown of any gun I've ever bought. After the first three shots the bolt kept slamming the rotary magazine. After I got the gun home I noticed from underneath where the magazine goes in there's a little metal rod coming out so I pushed it back in now the magazine goes in just fine and it Cycles just fine but now the both won't come out. I am very good with guns and I know what I'm doing. I think I got a lemon, it's going back to Scheels tomorrow
We're sorry to hear this! If you still have it, please give our service team a call at 1-800-370-0708 (Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm ET) and we'll be happy to help you with your A17.
@@SavageAccuracy I couldn't get anywhere with your service team so I returned it to Scheels only to get a gun in worse condition! It looks like there's calcium buildup all over the inside of the action. I don't know what kind of guns are sending out of that factory but it's unacceptable! I will be returning this gun today again just like the last gun I purchased.
@@SavageAccuracy I just sent an email to the email you have listed on savagearms.com. I've attached a number of photos so you can see what looks like calcium build-up, I've never seen anything like it before. None of the Gun Cleaners worked at removing
you mentioned 1/8" punch to remove dust cover, so i went out and bought one, however that size is not right, it takes a 1/16" punch, just thought i would let you know
Thats nice.. the bottom exploded out of the bottom of mine. Called savage n the guy on the phone said ehh maybe they'll cover it.. never soend another dollar with them... ever
Oh boy. I just bought this gun. I may have screwed up bcuz out of 15 shots only about10 cycled properly....with cci ammo. Hope this works itself out or its going back.
Any idea why my Savage 22a magnum isn't shooting Winchester 30 grain 2250 fps.. will not cycle eject the spent shell kind of disappointing I just spent $500
I have not yet done what you have mentioned. I bought the rifle yesterday and only have shote 90 rounds through it. It is hitting me in the face with burning powder every few shots. Do you have any idea what to do about that?
I have a problem that sometimes the action doesn't cycle, and also it seems like the trigger sticks, even though I have cleaned it thoroughly a few times.

I need help my a 17 hmr I took it a part to clean it and put it Back together now I am having Problems it will fire shell eject it put another one in and when you pull the trigger there’s nothing it should fire back to back it’s a semi automatic any suggestions
the spring on the front of the trigger assembly that ejects the magazine is not in the correct position I did the same thing, I think it's covered in the manual.
This is the worst most unreliable gun I've ever bought.I thought I finally got it to shoot good and then the next time out it jammed at least 2 shots out of every mag.I had at least 20 jams last time out.The bullet only went half way out of the mag and jammed the action open but the firing pin still clicked when I pulled the trigger.I'm going to buy a Tikka bolt action and sell this lemon and never look back.I've only had 2 visits to the range where it didn't jam and wouldn't take this junk hunting because you can't count on it to work.

@@SavageAccuracy Thanks for the reply but I'm going to dump this piece of junk as soon as I can and take my losses.This is my second savage gun I've bought and is going to be my last.This gun has caused me so much agrivation I don't want to deal with it any more.This gun should have never been put in the public's hands until all the bugs were worked out.I remember the good old days when you bought a gun and it did what it was supposed to do.This piece of garbage is not going to help you sell more guns.Even my local gunsmith rips on this thing.
I had alot of problems with mine also. Failing to feed next round, not fully ejecting the casing, firing pin hitting soft, dented casings and some casings even split open. I sent mine off to savage and still having the same issues when I got it back. They sent me a few spent casings from when they supposedly shot it. Never got a clear answer what was done to the rifle. Just showed repairs were done on the sheet. When I called to send it back I found out it only cycles certain rounds. CCI 20 grain, Hornady 20 grain and CCI A17 ammo. It won't cycle 17 grain ammo. I tried the ammo they recommended and still couldn't make it through a 10 rd magazine without 5 or 6 issues. I was ready to sell or smash it I was that pissed with dealing with it. As a last resort I ended up buying a Butler creek 25 rd magazine and some oil a local gun shop recommended. Have probably ran 150+ rounds through it with no issues. Maybe one day when ammo is back available I plan on trying more.
@@kerrycashio6551 I couldn't even get 1 round to cycle with he butler creek mag so you should feel lucky.I don't think the problem is in the gun but the crappy mags.I have been doing some manipulating of the original mags and have had better results but still not very reliable.It seems that no matter which semi auto rifle savage makes they have the same problems because they all use the same magazine.I have not had any luck selling this thing yet even with the gun shortage because the word is out on what a piece of crap it is.It won't be long before my chop saw gets some work.475.00 down the crapper
@@andysinn8655 Luckily I got in on clearance at Walmart for $99 so. I was offered 250 from a gun shop. If it wouldn't have worked right I was going sell it off. Make a profit and get rid of a headache, win win. I kept it lubed up so hopefully I stay lucky.
The A17 and A22 rifles CAN NOT be cleaned from the breach with a cleaning rod ( MAJOR DESIGN FLAW, designers became lazy when designing the rear plastic cover and metal tab protruding upward from the receiver to hold the cover from moving back ) if you use a cleaning rod it will have to be cleaned form the muzzle and risk damaging the crown AND LOSE ACCURACY. You will have to use a bore snake to clean the bore from the breach. Savage please design and sell a muzzle guide for USING a cleaning rod for the A17 AND A22.
Except if you have to clean the bore you have to clean from the muzzle end of the riffle. A traditional cleaning rod will not go down the bore from the rear of the firearm. The barrel is angled upwards to allow for proper feeding of the cartridge. The down side is, it puts it in. An angle that won't allow a cleaning rod to enter strait into the barrel. Thus rubbing on the upper side of the barrel eroding you chamber away. The only downfall to this rifle.
I especially loved the part where you forgot to put the bolt back in, and skipped to the fully reassembled rifle (neglecting the hardest steps in the process) so you wouldn't have to reshoot. What a ridiculously inadequate video.
Excellent... clear and concise. I did find that the 1/8" pin punch was too large diameter and using a 3/32" is correct size.
Great tutorial. My next rifle is going to be a Savage A17. Glad I found this on the "net".
I see this video is seven years old however I am about ready to purchase one of these so thank you for this video. This is an excellent, well done, very helpful video.
Just picked up one of these from pawn shop. Nice video, simple instructions for cleaning. Heck, I can still find ammo in this caliber.

1:25 Once the regogowlw assebly is out?
VicariousReality7 he don't know what he's talking about he only had to recock the hammer from the top
re coy yo
Im going to assume this is pretty similar to cleaning the A22 as well?
Correct!
@@SavageAccuracy thanks for your reply. I appreciate it!
Oh boy. I just bought this gun. I may have screwed up bcuz out of 15 shots only about10 cycled properly....with cci ammo. Hope this works itself out or its going back.
you would think the plastic tip on the recoil spring would be metal, I like the rifle but to long to clean it when trigger assembly is removed
My dust cover is broken. Not from trying to open it but just from target practice shooting it just pops out where can I get a new one…
to find the torque spec on my a22 I had to stumble across this video
is there a video on how to clean the spent powder out of the trigger assembly?
I guess everybody's an expert huh
shouldn't the trigger assembly be cleaned also ? pretty sure things went get in there too ?
we just got a 17 and the trigger section is full of brass shavings--YES on the good cleaning^^^^^^^^^^
where can I find info regarding cleaning inside the rotary magazine???
Actually, you will have to remove a standard mounted scope to get the bolt out. This is because the bolt comes upwards as it exits the action.
Not true. Mine is scoped and I've removed it several times.
@@dansherwood9851 mine has a scope on it to, and there room for my bolt to come out
What kind of grease do you use for the slid again
Any idea why my Savage 22a magnum isn't shooting Winchester 30 grain 2250 fps.. will not cycle eject the spent shell kind of disappointing I just spent $500
Is there a place in the stock to store a punch that could be used for disassembly?
*Help* i pulled the trigger on accident how do i fix the gun it won't cock when im pulling the slide back
Military And Law Enforcement so how did you fix it?
I have not yet done what you have mentioned. I bought the rifle yesterday and only have shote 90 rounds through it.
It is hitting me in the face with burning powder every few shots. Do you have any idea what to do about that?
Hello Justin, would you be able to give us a call at 800-370-0708 option 1 with your firearms serial number?
Do you store the rifle with the hammer cocked or do you pull the trigger to release the firing pin?
I was wondering about this the other day. Did you found an answer? If not may i ask you how are you storing ir?
In theory you are not supposed to dry fire a rimfire weapon
is it chromed barrel?
No, it is a high luster black barrel and hard chrome bolt.
I have a problem that sometimes the action doesn't cycle, and also it seems like the trigger sticks, even though I have cleaned it thoroughly a few times.

Can't get my magazine to stay in , help, I have the thumbhole stock version
the spring on the front of the trigger assembly that ejects the magazine is not in the correct position

what is the range of adjustment on the accutrigger for the A17?
2.5 - 6 lbs
Mine only goes down to 4 lbs
Barrel?
Stock?
Trigger assembly?
