[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 436792, member: 10"] To those that have strikers drop when "SLAMMING THE BOLT HOME". My question would be WHY are you SLAMMING the bolt home. I have guys up to the shop all the time that work their bolts like they are a piston in a gas engine!!! Slam em back, Slam em home!!! WHY. No need, even in the heat of the moment when a quick follow up shot is needed. These rifles are made out of steel for the most part but why beat them when there is no need to.... Would you turn your adjustment knob on your scope turret until it bottoms out and then give it a good twist JUST TO MAKE SURE ITS ALL THE WAY????? I think not. No reason. ALso get a kick out of guys that pull their bolts back with enough force to throw their cases into the next county. THey WONDER why their bolt stops get bent out of shape...... NO NEED. Use them as they are designed and you will have far fewer problems. It says right in the jewell instructions that when adjusted to very light pull weights, the bolt needs to be manipulated in a deliberate mannor, not aggressively. Why do we mistreat a finely adjusted mechanism. If the striker is slipping off and the trigger has been adjusted properly, your trigger is not adjusted properly for the way YOU work your rifle and should be adjusted for YOU. [/QUOTE]
