[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2828443, member: 116439"] ^^^^^^^^^ Try cleaning your bolt. It is pretty easy. If you do not know how to dissemble your bolt there are many U-Tubes to help you out. Over many years I have had hunters tell me that they have misfires. Sometimes when it is very cold out. Their bolt fires when at the range. then when hunting in the cold temps they had misfires. They would test by placing their bolt in the freezer over night and then putting in the rifle and had misfires. I would always tell them that their bolt was either dirty and or had bad oil in the bolt. Never use Rem OIL. It turns to sludge after years and in the cold. Had a really good friend that lived several hundred miles away. He had a beautiful Sako in .243. Was having misfires. I told hin to clean the bolt. Well he didn't want to take it apart by himself. I used to do all the work on his firearms. He took it to a local GS Shop to have it cleaned. It shot well at the range. He went out and the temp was down around ZERO. He had a beautiful 8 Point White tail walk into his shooting lane. He squeezed his trigger and "Click" and no fire. He racked another cartridge in and the ejected cartridge hit his climber and made a loud "DINK". The Buck took off. He was very unhappy! He was going to take the Sako to the Gun Show and just get rid of it. I happened to visit him and I took the bolt apart. It had gunk in it. The previous GS never took apart to clean. Just cleaned the outside. I cleaned the bolt and it never misfired again-even after putting in the freezer for two days. I periodically take every bolt apart and clean. I then use G-96 to coat and Lub the bolt. I spray the bolt parts, let them sit, for a while, then wipe down and assemble. We use G-96 on everything. It coats and doesn't leave residue to collect impurities. [/QUOTE]
