savage rifle

Hello, I have a brand new Savage model 111 in 3006, it has the detachable magazine. Today at the range shooting it for the first time I noticed a problem that I was hoping someone could help me with. After the last round is fired the magazine falls out of the rifle all on its own. Is this normal? I doubt it is, does anyone have ANY clue how to fix this. Also the rifle shoots pretty darn good. Its not really a problem at the range but I bet if that happens in the woods I would lose the magazine. Thanks for any help.

    I just bought a savage 30-06 rifle with a synthetic stock. When I fire the last round the mag. pops out. Is this normal or do I have a problem with the rifle? Hope I am not an idiot!

    bn,
    You are not an idiot. Yes you have a problem.
    Probably others with more knowledge will respond but, what model?
    After market stock, etc. Only. The M-1 pops the clip out after last round. I do not know of another arm that drops the mag out when the last shot is fired. Hang in there, another will respond. 101

    The model is 111 and the stock is not an after mafket. I did not get directions with the gun. There wasn't even a box, thats why I got a good deal, HA. I have looked at other guns in the same model and it appears that the catch isn't bent out as much on mine as with others.Would still like input.

    Contact Savage, custumer service dept. They will answer your questions and will also be happy to send you a new manual (for free).
    Detachable magazines should not fall out after the last round is fired.
    Trivia: 'enbloc' clip fed guns normaly drop / eject the clip after the last round is chambered / fired IE: the M1 Garand (as mentioned) the M-95 manlicher straight pull, some of the carcanos etc
    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
