Good morning,
I am new to the forum and I just purchased a Savage Stealth in .338 Lapua! I cant wait to take it out tomorrow and zero my glass!
But I do have a question since I am new to the long range game.
When I was dry firing the rifle I noticed when I looked at the bolt I was also looking at the lugs on the free floating bolt head and when I engage the bolt and lock it down....I notice the lugs on the bolt actually move about 1/8" to engage. Is that normal??
New to bolt action. But do you guys know if that's normal? I would have figured the lugs would completely move and engage. Or at least rotated more than what it is actually moving. I assume since its a free floating head it doesn't move that much...but just seems odd that it doesn't rotate and lock down further.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
