I got this new Savage 110 in 6.5 PRC a couple of days ago and I wanted to pull the bolt but it just won't come out.
I ASSUME that you pull it back while pressing down on the small lever on the side but it wont budge. I even pull the trigger at the same time and it wont back out of the receiver...
What am I missing?
Thanks for the help. :apologetic:
Sounds like You have a top bolt release? Pull the trigger. Push the top bolt release all the way down. Let go of the trigger, while holding the release down, slide the bolt back and out.
Yeeeup... bolt release & trigger as Gren explained.
THANK YOU!!!!!
I tried forever last night and couldnt... Today I thought I would ask.... ha ha !!
Again Thanks!!!
We’er here for You Brother :eek:
I had one that drove me to an extra cold one..... The inlet on a stock was off just
enough to not let the top lever to fully depress. A little dremel work was needed.
Make sure the safety is in the fire position. This happened to me the other day. I was trying to remove my bolt and couldn't get it to release, and forgot I had the safety in the middle position.
I'm throwing myself under the bus here.
I was working on the stock on my 110L , and had the bolt out. When I started re-assembly I could not get the bolt in with any amount of effort! I was truly at a loss! Until I realized it is a 110 L !
I have been around right handed rifles too long!
"I have been around right handed rifles too long". Me too!!
Got a Model 12 left hand repeater that I built into a bench gun.Pulled the bolt and took it apart. For the life of me, I couldn't get it back together. (couldn't see the forest for the trees) Finally in frustration, shipped it off to SSS and had Fred put it back to together for me.
Funny how something so simple can cause you so much grief.
And on top of that, Fred made sure everybody knew how dumb I was for not being able to put the bolt back together.
I don't think he charged me for the job so it was a wash.
And if that's the only mistake I ever make in my life, I can live with that. :cheerful::thumb:
I have made so many mistakes in my life I no longer try to keep track........
Running into a problem, making a mistake, then learning the remedy is what gives us a greater knowledge base. I’m an avid gunsmith/firearms builder, custom Knifemaker & machinist. I’ve never taken a single class or had any formal training. Just learned from reading, watching tutorials & Doing! After 15 or 20 years of something.... tend to get fairly comfortable with it.

I recently disassembled the bolt from my 110T LH rifle. I found two wave washers between the bolt head and the front baffle. Does anyone know why it would be like this??? I have not been able to find any info that showed more than one washer.

That way from new? Was/is it working like it's suppose to? Put there on purpose OR picked up by mistake when assembled. Who knows.
Don't go looking for trouble. If it works, "don't fix it if it ain't broke". ;)
Since no one I know has ever seen this and the rifle is new. My guess is that it was an accident. The only thing it will do is create more pressure between the baffle and the bolthead. Put the second washer in a safe place. If the owner is uncertain the recommendation is to call the customer service line at Savage. If it was anything other than that it would be an out of spec bolt body or baffle. In that case the assembler would throw the bad part in a bin of non conformance.
I purchased the rifle new. I fired a few rounds threw it and could hardly get them out of the chamber. Sent it back to Savage and they fixed the chamber and the receipt said “replaced small bolt parts”. It fires good now, I am still getting use to the heavy bolt lift. This was the first time that I disassembled the bolt.
Would there be any harm in removing one of the wave washers?
Does anyone have drawings for these bolts so that I could check the dimensions?

Sharpshooter82.... When you are ready, feel free to send me the bolt & I’ll give it the full Lift lightening & adjustment. (Standard 10/110 bolt) And I do these for free.
Here’s what lift is in my rifle after some “massaging”
