OK - That's what I was thinking. Thank you for your help so far. As soon as I can get to the range, I'll try some new ammo. I'll check the new firing pin and spring that I ordered - might not be a bad thing to replace the original anyway.
I have killed a slew of deer with my Marlin 336 in .35, but had a scope mounting issue so I started using my Dad's Savage 110 in 30-06, it has been my 'new' hunting rifle. I have killed, with precision, several nice deer with this gun (2) despite misfires... It feels good in my hand, carry's well, the recoil is nonexistent when I have a deer in my sites, and is quite deadly.
So far, I have adjusted nothing - just have done a lot of measuring.
One last question - is there a way to 'de-cock' the action without pressing the trigger and activating the firing pin ? I hate dry firing a gun but can't seem to figure out another option.
