Sako av .338 win mag questions
If anyone has insight I would appreciate it. While unloaded the internal magazine box has a bit of slop in it about an 8th of an inch up and down, when loaded the cartridges push it out a bit and stop this. And on a general note, I found a crack in the foreend of the stock right next to the barrel, would a crack like that be caused by recoil? The previous owner fired it from a sled setup several times. I'm assuming the crack will not affect accuracy but I am leary about firing the rifle before repair if it is likely to spread.
