I got a Stevens 200 .270 about 6 years ago, but due to being unable to hunt, it literally has only been shot two occasions with maybe a total of 15 bullets through it. Anyhoo, I took it out yesterday for opening deer season, took one shot and went home. I hunted half of this morning and noticed my action had some wiggle to it, then I saw a big hole in front of where the trigger guard is. I assume the bolt just worked itself loose ( somehow? ) and fell out.

According to the savage manual this screw is called a " Front Action Screw ", my question to you guys is, does anyone know if I can just pick up a bolt to fit it at any hardware store? If so, what size/pitch will I need?

Thanks a BUNCH to anyone that can answer this. I love my Stevens and Savage as a company but this bums me out.
