[QUOTE="Vettepilot555, post: 2707876, member: 118184"] I have something to add that I haven't noticed mentioned. I have a Winchester Model 70 in 30.06 that does just this thing; every once and a while misfires. Bolt has been disassembled, cleaned and checked by myself and others knowledgable. Problem remains. I've bought a new spring and will install soon. What I wanted to mention, is that when this happens, the normal, human reaction is outright panic, and to frantically work the action. Animals, just like us, visually key in on movement the best. I suggest, when having a misfire, to hold as still as a dead man. Often, after a bit, the animal will go back to grazing, and you can carefully re-cock and get another chance. Vettepillot [/QUOTE]
