[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 72802, member: 25"] Dakor, I fired a shot in one of my alltime favorite rigs a few years ago, smoke came back out of the bolt. I knew I had done something. Cranked open the bolt, not too difficult but not easy to open either, think I needed to give a few taps to get it started. Case stuck in bolt face. Sako extractor not in place. Tipped rifle pright and the extractor dropped out into my hand. My buddy eased the case out of the bolt face, put the extractor back in and the rifle has shot as well as it ever did. I forgot what the details where, think it was simply switching a bullet make in that .308 Win. rifle. I pulled a factory 180 grain bullet and substituted a 180 Scirocco, not a good idea in that rifle. Bottom line, likely when you get the case removed your rifle will be fine. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
