hello,
new to the forum, i am sure this has been answered but I just bought the axis xp from gandermountain and it was suppose to
be the three position safety. It is actually two position, but it seems that the safety will not go on unless the trigger is
cocked. so if i fired the round in the chamber and drop the clip out and now want to put safety on i have to just flip the
bolt lever up (not even pull it back) and i can now put safety on. should i make sure chamber is empty and then take safety
off and dry fire to release trigger ? is it bad on spring to store it empty with trigger cocked and and safety on
as you can see new to bolt action rifles. is this normal that i can't put safety on unless cocked as i mentioned earlier if i just flip bolt lever up and not pull back at all it seems to clock trigger and now i can
put safety on.
thanks
