For the record, I do own a Savage A17.  I did not have the problem you are experiencing with mine, but I did have a very similar experience with my CZ 512 Tactical.  Drove me nuts.  Sometimes it would fire, other times nothing.  I cleaned a lubed the gun when I bought it, but did it again.  Honestly, when I was shooting it, I felt there was a 50/50 chance it would fire.  I was also experiencing failures to feed and failures to eject along with the failure to fire.


I sent the gun back to CZ and they sent me a checklist of what they did.  Firing pin, firing pin spring, and IIRC, the bolt catch spring.  It worked when it came back though I put it away after I tested it upon receipt.  I would not waste time fooling with it.  I would send it back and let them go over it.  I've had too many guns where I struggled to get them operating properly, and end up hating the gun.  Send it back and let them deal with it.
