Over the summer I was testing loads for my newly acquired Savage 110FP. It is in excellent condition and is showing itself a good shooter.
I was shooting on my own private range doing load testing. During the session I cycled the bolt, upon the down stroke of the bolt handle the rifle fired. The round that went off was fed from the mag. Not sure if it is considered an unintended discharge or a slam fire?
I don't force or move the bolt too quickly. It was a surprise and I pulled the bolt and did a close inspection. Didn't appear to be any issues. So I put the bolt back in and did some more shooting. No other issues. Tried to repeat it by working the bolt harder, but no luck.
Took the rifle home, cleaned it and haven't shot it again. I want to tear it down and look at it more closely. I wanted to shoot F-Class with this rifle, but I don't need an unexpected round going off in public.
Any thoughts?
