[QUOTE="archeratlrg, post: 1676334, member: 41248"] Had the cocking piece/shroud turn on a old 700 Remington when I cycled the bolt to shoot a big bull elk at 15 yds. Darn thing stood there looking at me as I pulled the bolt, grabbed my pocket knife to catch the cocking piece a d pull back into proper position. He exited stage left as I slipped the bolt back into the rifle. The catch notch on the bolt had worn to the point it wasn't holding properly. A few seconds with a small round file corrected it so hopefully will be good for another 6,000 rounds or so. [/QUOTE]
