DramaQueen Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I would say It may be prudent to use some form of eye protection if this gun has this antisocial habit. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah might try that do they do over sized Durex, mine stop at large, saying that I can see breathing problems with that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&load Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) surprised I can still see today, shot Dave g`s sako last night did a quick reload and wallop as I pulled the bolt back it came straight out and in my eye AGAIN. don't think this is safe and think sako have got some explaining to do. this time though the bolt slide straight back in and worked fine again all night. WORRING!!! forgive me for asking but is this a normal action for this gun,i dont know am not familiare with it, but have tikkas wich i beleive to be made by the same people and bolt can only be released by depressing release on side of gun,so i presume its not normal,and would be returning it to the site of purchase or at least contact the makers. p.s hope the eye allright Edited March 3, 2008 by lock&load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 have 2 sakos in the house, thousands of shots fired through them, not 1 problem, do you hold the rear of the gun when shooting from a bipod? are you left handed on a right hand gun and knocking the release? its quite an easy bolt to release, but only if your trying!? the sako is one of the more common guns in this country and never come across any problems like this.

Dave-G Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sounds like a bolt release sear problem Is that the "button" thats pressed to allow the bolt to get past it Pin? I've given it a darn good seeing to with some 3in1 spray oil - as well as the back end of the ejector claw the it engages with. I don't really know what else to look for TBH. I can only think it may be happening because Chris is used to lifting his bolt handle higher when he recycles his Annie so maybe it's travelling upwards past the stopper a bit when he does it ... normally when he hurriedly reloads after a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 My understanding of similar rifles might not apply here, I just googled and can see quite a few different approaches to the bolt release. Ignore me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down South Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dave, I've just had a look at my Quad. As you slide the bolt it there is a click as the lock drops into the cut out in the bolt. When you slide the bolt back the locking lever rocks noticeably as it drops into the bolt cut out smoothly. The locking catch appears to have a spring so its always trying to push in. There are a few plastic parts on the Quad, maybe the locking mech is plastic and is worn or distorted. My bolt has never pulled out accidently.
