[QUOTE="pburton, post: 927023, member: 48978"] This does not sound right. You should not have to force the bolt closed. Are these the only rifles that you are considering? Or have available? I have owned a couple of Savages also. The bolt has never been like that. I would be very cautious. For the kind of money you are talking about spending on a rifle you can get a brand new in the box factory rifle. Don't take my last post wrong. If you are going to stay under 500 yards for deer the .308 would be a great round. I have shot a lot of deer with a .308. The recoil difference between the two calibers is pretty significant. The .308 is definitely more comfortable to shoot regularly unless you plan to put on a muzzle brake on the .300wsm. Also if you do not reload the cost of ammo is cheaper for a .308. Just some stuff to think about or confuse you more. Which it did for me when I was starting out. [/QUOTE]
