My son-in-law bought a Savage Axis bolt action in .308 recently. He brought it over so I can sight it in for him.
After the 2nd shot I got a misfire. I waited for a time before removing the round and looked at the primer ( light strike). I fired 3 more with good results then had another FTF. Another light strike! I removed the bolt and released the tension on the firing pin. I found the firing pin spring broken in two.
I told my son-in- law to bring it back to Academy and see what they say!
Has anyone else had a problem with their Savage?
