Hello all!
I'm new here but not new to shooting, loading, hunting and all that goes with it. I hope everyone is enjoying a Happy New year and a relaxing weekend. I bought my first Savage rifle recently. It is an Axis chambered in 308 Winchester. I have noticed there is a loud "click" as I begin to lower the bolt. The rifle is still cocked and it appears the striker falls when the trigger is pulled. I have removed the scope bases and that isn't the problem I took the barreled action out of the stock. When I begin to lower the bolt the only thing I can tell is the part that appears to be the sear Jump from the front of that portion of the trigger body and lands in the groove that I believe might be a seer notch. I know my description is probably about as clear as mud but does anyone have an idea of what might be the problem? I hope someone does.
Thanks so much in advance!
Rick
