Took my 30-06 axis shooting yesterday and had 4 misfires. I Initially thought it was the ammo but upon further inspection of the rounds I noticed one of the craters was slightly lighter then the rest. I disassembled the bolt thinking there maybe some debris or gummed up grease that was causing it to hang up but as soon as I pulled the firing pin I could instantly tell that it was bent. I am curious as to how this would happen, I have only put two boxes of ammo thru this rifle since I got it last year. I emailed savage but have not received a reply back. It's $17.00 for a new pin so how much would a gunsmith charge generally to install a new one? Deer season is just around the corner and I don't think that I would get the rifle back in time from savage to use it.
