target action trigger problems

Hello all. Noob question for the wise. I have 2 Target actions. Both right bolt, left port. One of each bolt face.

If I run the bolt briskly, the trigger falls upon bolt closure. If I go slow, it does not. Is this common? It does it on both of my actions.

Suggested fix?

Thanks in advance

Yes it's common. Trigger set "too" lite. Been there, done that. Set the trigger pull a little on the heavier side.

What he said.

Yup, what they said! ;D

Yup, Very common. Savage started putting a small rubber bugger (Like a dab of clear silicone.) under the bolt handle to correct this. I found getting a lighter bolt handle like a SSS is a big help.

same here

So do you have any thought on how adding, or reducing the mass of the bolt handle affects to firing mechanism?

does the bolt handle affect the inertia that much?
