Re: Bolt not closing - Savage 11 BTH .243
Yep... so it's something on the 243 that's wrong, not the bolt itself.

Re: Bolt not closing - Savage 11 BTH .243
The bolts from both rifles are identical

My guess is check the safety.

Re: Bolt not closing - Savage 11 BTH .243
I'll take them out the safe again in the morning and check it out. I'll post pics.
Thanks for your help

Re: Bolt not closing - Savage 11 BTH .243
You stated the bolt was open when you moved to 300 meter.
Is it possible a foreign object dropped into the action and has worked its way into the recess where the bolt lugs lock?
This would prevent the bolt from closing fully.

Re: Bolt not closing - Savage 11 BTH .243
Hi Blunderbrass,
The rifle was bagged and carried to the 300m mark.
I was also thinking the same thing though, how can I check if something is in there??

Nigel,
I know you don't believe the problem to be the bolt but just noticed something. Is it normal on the Savage for the plunger ejector not to be proud of the bolt face? If not then looks like something may have broken.
Also your bolt could do with a good clean.One too many wasted sunsets and one too many for the road .........
