Hi Everybody,

I picked up my first Savage/Stevens centerfire last weekend. It's an S200 in .308. Win. This will be my first project gun.

I adjusted the trigger pull down to 3 lb 2 oz. While doing this, I noticed the action will not cock with the muzzle pointed up. I do not know if it was this way before adjustment. All I did was back out the trigger pull adjustment screw.

It does not need much incline at all to fail to cock. I can easily see working the action while aiming upslope and having this happen. I am going to take her apart and increase the trigger pull and check this again.

Has anybody seen this kind of thing?

Thanks,
Jeff
