I checked the head space. I also measured the protrusion. I have since stripped the bolt and cleaned. Seemed to be moving find and saw no signs of gunk with my eye.
I read about another guy, same thing on another forum.
Should be same 110 action?? Some maybe nothing unique to this model, I was just searching for 116
I haven't tried it since I cleaned. It can 150 rounds before failing. So hard to trouble shoot, and hard to trust.
I may put 50 rounds through it so I can ethically sell it. If it fires 50 times, than your problem for buying a Savage. Though I hate to screw someone.
Both times it did it, was towards the end of range sessions. I do let it cool, for testing accuracy. Not hot to the touch. But maybe the thing just can't handle alot of shooting.
My 1970s 700, I doubt the bolt was ever apart.
