[QUOTE="bullpine, post: 2360666, member: 121041"] Thanks for all your replies. I really do not want to get rid of this firearm as I just killed a whitetail buck at 297 yards this season and have harvested two moose, over a dozen elk and many deer over the seasons I have had this rifle. It is very good at filling the freezer and I have a lot of confidence in its accuracy. That said, if this a safety issue instead of just something that renders the firearm a single shot or slow second shot due to whatever, then I will retire the rifle or work hard on repair. I guess I am saying I am okay with the bolt working hard as long as it works and is not a safety concern. Is this generally speaking a safety issue? BTW I recall something about my receiver lug needing and given a washer. The bolt jams solid with Rem ammo, not so much with other brands, I am using Federal now. Does not jam immediately after cleaning, but the bolt works hard again after shooting anywhere for 6 to over dozen rounds at the range. [/QUOTE]
