    You will have to take the bolt apart.

    I only have Sako rifles and their bolts are easy to take apart. Can't help on the Savage bolt.

    Where is the firing pin ...... how far recessed?

    Do any action screws protrude into the action roughly where the face of the bolt is stopping? http://www.savageshooters.com/showth...ight=bolt+bind

    Process of elimination...

    It's definitely not the bolt. I took the bolt from my Savage LRP 6.5 Creedmoor and placed it in the .243 with no problems whatsoever.

    ?? Another bolt works, therefore the action must be OK and the fault must be with the original bolt. Or the specs of both bolts differ so much that mistake does not show on the 260 bolt.

    I should of mentioned that the 243 bolt also works fine in the Creedmoor

    You have stripped the bolt and checked for broken components?

    I haven't Andrew. Is there any point in doing that if it works fine in the 6.5?

    Sorry I got completely confused there and checked again.
    The 6.5 bolt DOESN'T feed in the 243, but the 243 bolt does feed in the 6.5

    I confuse myself from time to time!
