Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
There is a pin in the rear of the bolt that needs removed, if you relieve the pressure on the cocking handle and punch the pin out the bolt will come apart really easy, I would show you step by step pics but am not going to put myself through that without having to ;)
My first guess is the firing pin is worn, I don't have an extra. It is possible that your trigger might be worn, I do have an extra, but I highly doubt it, they are freaking hard.
Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!

Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
I do not know exactly what model you have, or what changes Savage might have made during the years, but here are a few possibilities.
This might be it, but he has no picture, why don't people put pictures up.

Again, no picture.

Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
still cant find the pin, it has a SN that is 1208XX
Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
You guys are nuts.
For $160 I'd be grabbing that sucker up in a hurry. Probably a $10 fix to get it running again.
If it was in Canada it would be sitting in my safe right now.

Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!

Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
PM sent.
Curious. Is this the round bolt or square bolt?
Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
the bolt appears to be round nothing square about it...
Re: Savage Sporter 23A Help!
The reason I was asking is the older models at a glance look the same as the newer models but the front of the bolt was square. I got bit by that once before.
Thanks.
