[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 415125, member: 9775"] I like the bolt for rifle! I lost one once while elk hunting in Grizzly country. My dad dropped a huge bull in the morning. During that hunt we pushed out a sow and her 2 cubs. We decided to go to main camp, eat a big lunch, then my father and I were going to hike back to skin and quarter. We decided to only take one rifle (mine), so we could carry more gear. We skinned till dark, then headed back up the mountain to our spike camp so we could get an early start the next morning. On the way up the mountain we crawled through some alder bush. My rifle got snagged so I gave it a tug and continued on. When we were almost at the spike camp, my dad said I better put a round in the chamber in case the grizzly were in our camp. I grabbed the rifle to chamber a round, reached down, and nothing, the bolt was gone. This was off of a Sako 7mm rem mag. We built the biggest camp fire I ever saw, and I don't think either one of us slept a wink that night. Probably a once in a million accident, but it cost me $350 for a new bolt plus shipping both ways and insurance. [/QUOTE]
