[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2696115, member: 73596"] I had trouble on a couple of hunts where I had a misfire. I never could figure it out until one day I was in a treestand hunting and a nice buck presented on my right side, and I only had a couple seconds to react. I swung the rifle over and set up.left handed and when I pulled the trigger, I saw the bolt kinda bounce a little. Turned out that my problem all along was that the bolt was lifted very slightly, and reduced the tension and travel distance jof the firing pin jist enough to keep.it from igniting the primer. The primer did appear to be hit hard enough to ignite as well....since that point, I had a rubber band that I keep around the trigger guard of my 700s. I've not had the problem since. BTW, that nice buck did also cooperate and moved back in enough to give me a shot after the first misfire. I lifted the bolt and closed it back and it barked! DRT [/QUOTE]
