[QUOTE="Havingfun, post: 1415156, member: 14228"] OK, based on several forum discussions, I am hearing on the Savage ML, there is a known issue with making sure the bolt handle is [U]all the way down[/U]. Apparently, even the slightest uptick in the handle can and will cause a light strike. This morning, I took about a dozen of the Federal 209 primers, which are known to cause problems because they are sometimes seated too deeply, and fired one after the other. I made sure the handle was all the way down each time and I never had a misfire. Maybe that was the problem all along (maybe not). I'll test and re-test to see if I ever get a light strike again and if I do, I'll start worrying again. In the meantime, if someone has something more to offer, I'm all ears. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
