yes it's the rock bottum savage axis from academy. we pitched in and bought it for my little brother, an effort to get him to join us at deer camp. stupid pawn shops and craigslist wanted $400-500 for used up cheap rifles in who-knows-what shape. so we took the dive
anyhow- what would make this rifle click on every tenth shot or so, making (about the same) dimple in the spent and un-spent cartridge? we've swapped bullets and all. no imorovement.
we know we can start over at academy or jump through savage hoops, but we'd rather try to repair it as we dont want to give it up in deer season, and don't want to start from scratch on the range.
was hoping someone (maybe recently) has experienced this "soft strike" on the same type rifle. vitals: savage axis xp 30/06, without accutrigger. any ideas please share. we're barrel swabbers. never tore into a rifle bolt before. thank you.
