Savage Model 10 misfires
Fired my new Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter .223 for the first time today. Impressed with accuracy, less than 1 inch circle at 100 yards but had issues with misfires. Fired 15 shots but had 4 or 5 dull clicks. Just a dull click, didn`t dent or mark primer, had to re cock bolt each time. worked fine after re-cocking.
Anyone have any ideas? easy fix or back for repairs? hoped to leave on Monday for a week coyote hunting.
Thanks in advance,, Gerard

Check the bolt and firing pin spring. Sometimes they have excessive grease on them. I have also seen a piece of styrofoam get in the spring which will cushion spring. Is it new or new to you. If a used gun the spring may be replaced or shortened. 0
