I am leaving on Friday for a boar hunting trip and was zeroing and changing scopes today on my Sauer 202. The second shot I fired seemed like a misfire without the click. Luckily I stick to decent misfire procedures and remained on target for 20seconds. I started to wonder if the bolt had picked up a round from the magazine or not. As I moved the bolt the rifle fired (still aimed at the target). Scared the **** out of me to be sure . It was factory ammo and I thought it was a hang fire and thanked my lucky stars I was on the side of a mountain and still on target.
the next round did the same thing and I was certain there was no click from the firing pin and the trigger pull felt like the bolt wasn't cocked. The smallest movement opening the bolt resulted in a discharge ( again aimed at the target). Not a pleasant experience holding onto an unmoderated 30-06. I striped the stock off the Rifle and cleaned around the safety and trigger as best I could when I got home but I need to strip the bolt. Has anyone information in stripping the bolt. I may struggle to get a gun smith to look at it before Friday hopefully not.
Thanks Keith
