Ok I just got back from the range and the gentle man next to me had just bought a new axis, stainless with the camo dipped stock, in 308. he was there to break in the barrel and sight in. He opened the bolt and tried to chamber a round but the bolt would'nt close but half way. he pulled the round out and tried to close the bolt but once again it would only close about half way, I was asked to look at it cause I shoot savage's so I took the gun and looked at it, and the bolt would only close about just over 90 degrees from center line of the bore. To me it seemed like a head space problem, but I have never seen that on a empty chamber! has any one out there had this problem, I thought savage shot each rifle. he is taking it back to Cabela's where he bought it, but Im really curious as to what the problem might be. Thanks Jay
