Gents your thoughts please. I have a rifle, which loaded and fired correctly whilst out lastnight. On reloading for a second shot the rifle de-cocked as i took the bolt forward, sako 75. Whats the cause of this. Thx
Sear is failing to engage, could be many reasons, but most common is over lubed, dirt or other foreign bodies in the workings, or trigger pull set to light.
Seen a similar situation not long ago on a brand new Sako 85. When the reciever was removed from the stock the cause was a loose bolt securing the trigger assembly. Once tightened, the problem was resolved.
I'd certainly remove the action from the stock & look at this and if not the case, for other issues as suggested.
The rifle is not to be trusted in it's current state and should be examined sooner rather than later. ATB
All sorted gents, thanks for the input, stripped down fully,some muck in there, and all bolts suitable tightened, now working better than before i think
