[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1420573, member: 77441"] Crap, just sold mine for $800 with a vortex viper and a couple pounds of powder... I had not shot it in a couple of years, but did have some really good groups out of it at 300 yds. I never had the issue you are describing. That being said, if the bolt is not closed all of the way, you are effectively moving the primer farther towards the rear of the receiver and away from the breech plug. Which could create a light primer strike since the primer wouldnt be seated against the breech plug. I have had that issue with a CVA optima. Fix for it was a buna o-ring inside the breech plug as seen in the pic. I get 30-40 shots before I have to replace the O-ring shooting CCI 209M primers. I realize that the Savage breech plug is a slightly different design, but if you could make something similar it would take up the slack that may be causing the light hits. If excess space isnt causing the issue with the light strikes, then you need to replace the spring inside the bolt. [/QUOTE]
