i will apologize in advance if this question has already been brought up. i was at a local name brand outdoors store today and ready to buy the preadator for what i can tell a pretty sweet price and i noticed the bolt handle was sloppy. it wasnt the entire bolt but just the bolt handle. is this an easy fix or a problem with savages. i've noticed other bolt actions seem to be onepeice. i want to snatch this gun up but at this point im a little catious. any help?

It's possible it's just the bolt that holds the bolt handle on, If so it's a real easy fix.

im new to the bolt action buying so i wasnt sure but it did look like all that needed to be done was to tighten the allen head in the bolt itself. like i said im a little green on these things so i didnt want to waste the money.

the only thin i've seen other than the bolt handle is there is rack wear on the barrel and trigger guard(missing the camo) i think that is why the price is lower.
