Looking to see if anyone had any similar problem as I have,had rifle out at weekend, hadnt fired it since may so i tried on target and it was spot on,shot a wee stag later on and safety was working fine but when I was out lamping last night I got ready on bonnet for a fox I was squeaking in loaded and went to put safety on but it wouldnt move from fire position so I never took any chances just unloaded and abandoned.Tried to free it when I got home but wasnt moving and I noticed it was uncocking when I closed bolt.
I put in vice today and pushed sear back and managed to get safety to move but when i put it into rifle and dry fired it again its stuck in fire position again.Its a 3 position safety forward to fire,mid position safe but bolt not locked and fully back is safe and bolt locked down.
Only thing i,ve done out of my usual routine is after id shot stag and unloaded I put safety forward to fire position and closed bolt on an empty chamber and held trigger in which I dont normally do with this rifle!
Any pointers would be appreciated
cheers
