Nope , We have not.
She takes better care of it than we do of the ones we have hunted with


Both of the axis gen 1 30/06 rifles my boy and I have.
Been hauled around hunting in a dusty truck for over 6 years.
Never disassembled , only lightly oiled the bolt from time to time with singer oil.

Both work flawlessly

Savage tends to be generous with the oil etc I had similar problems and cleaned the bolt etc and it was fine there after

Thank you to all who have made suggestions. I called savage arms today and the savage axis is known to have issues with the firing pin spring. They are sending me the parts needed to fix this.
The person I spoke to said the cold will not have any effect on how it strikes the ammo. They are made to fire in -50degree weather.
Again thanks for the suggestions.

Seriously, before going through any more hassle, clean the bolt.....

Known issue to Savage ^^^^ they are selling guns they know are giving light strikes.

Not cleaning it.
the thing is near spotless.
when the parts it requires get here I will fix it for her.

Have you checked the length of protrusion of the firing pin at rest. Is it comparable to other Axis? The firing pin maybe screwed in to tight.

Nope , will do this when the parts get here, as it is it can be used .
Hunting season is over.
But this needs corrected before next season

Plus ...since it is not my gun..
It is at her house;)
