[QUOTE="otisdog, post: 1605151, member: 38428"] I had Winchester 70 I hunted with for years. Probably 40 deer with that rifle. One cold day I hadn’t seen anything for hours when a groundhog popped up. I shot the ground hog then realized I hadn’t chambered a fresh round With the rifle vertical I chambered a round. When the bolt closed the rifle fired. Winchester says due to the manufacturing date not their responsibility. 25 years ago I did have a local gunsmith work the trigger. I have been unable to replicate the malfunction. Wound up giving it to a gunsmith as it needed to be rebarreled any way and I couldn’t trade it or continue to use it as is. [/QUOTE]
