New 10 FCP-K and the bolt won't close!!!!!
I bought a new Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 back in January. Between the weather and work, I have not had a chance to shoot it. Last Sunday, the weather was nice, so I decided to head to the range. As I was placing the rifle in the case, getting ready to leave the house, I noticed that the bolt was only closed halfway. I tried for 20 minutes to get the bolt closed and it will not shut!!! This gun has never even had a round in the chamber!!! I really don't want to have to send it back to Savage. Any ideas what might be causing the problem? I also noticed that the front scope base screw hole is not drilled all the way through. I couldn't get the front base screw seated fully!
