[QUOTE="bearcat2, post: 1759974, member: 18832"] Most interesting rifle 'problem' I found was the trigger dropping (firing) as the bolt was being lowered on a bolt action (about 50% of the time.) Uh...that's not good! Turned out the guy bedded the action lug but not the tang and when the tang screw got tightened, it was enough to bend the action slightly so the sear wouldn't hold properly. Bedding the tang fixed the problem, but that would probably be a rifle you don't accept and would send back.[/QUOTE] A friend of mine bought a factory savage with this problem. It wasn't correctly headspaced and chambering a round it dropped the firing pin about half the time. Dangerous! [/QUOTE]
