[QUOTE="synfinatic, post: 3086753, member: 124961"] Voere Shikar in .308. Because reasons, I [I]bought[/I] it from my grandfather when I was younger and didn't know much. Anyways... Stuart Otteson had this to say about it in his book, The Bolt Action Vol II: "More than any other single factor, difficult bolt operation proved the undoing of the Shikar rifle. The rifle had the slick lines and short bolt lift of the Weatherby school of design, but also shared a tendency for weak camming and high bolt-handle forces. A heavy mainspring, short-lift bolt, and inefficient cams, combined with a lot of internal binding to render perhaps the stiffest-workingbolt ever found in a factory rifle." If that wasn't bad enough, the gun won't properly chamber the factory Winchester Silvertips my grandfather gave me with the gun? Then the bolt shroud broke, due to the previously mentioned heavy camming forces required to open the bolt. [/QUOTE]
