Help! Out here in deer country and discovered that the bolt on my older Ruger M77 (safety on tang, not MK II) won't shut with a cartridge in place. Seems that the ejector pin remains extended, thus preventing extractor claw from seizing the rim of the cartridge so I can't get that extra 1/8 inch to lock the bolt. Yes, it serves me right for ignoring this rifle for ten years while I hunted in slug gun territory, but self-blame aside, any suggestions on freeing this situation?
Thanks.
Thanks.
