I never said it was. You asked why one needed to remove the bolt so often. I told you why. But now that you mentioned it being difficult , I witnessed a older chap at the range that had difficulty removing his bolt as it requires pushing the release and squeezing the trigger and then having the ability to pull the bolt. He was unable to do it without some assistance due to his arthritis. No need to bag on people here friend. I love Savages and I love Remmys. Some just have very strong opinions. Like you!I didn't realize pushing a button is such a difficult task.
