    1st time at the range / Savage 110 BA / 338 Lapua

    Re: 1st time at the range / Savage 110 BA / 338 Lapua There were no problems with the gun. Apparently I was closing the bolt too hard and was triggering a safety mechanism that prevented the gun from firing. It performed flawlessly when the bolt was closed slowly. Ran a few rounds through it...
