I'll take it to Lee Baker, a pretty good bolt rifle smith, and Lee LeBas' associate. LeBas' business is called L&L, imagine that...

I think part of the problem is that I am so used to those sloppy bolt Mausers and pre 64 Winchesters that the feel and operation of this push feed gun is a bit different. It definitely requires absolutely full bolt travel, under no uncertain terms.

I became a bit too delicate with the bolt operation a few years ago when I was chambering a second round fast in an older Rem 721 30-06 I had just taken in. We were shooting 'yotes and had three running hell bent. I slammed the bolt back for a fast second shot and sheared off the bolt stop, thumb right in my eye...

I'll still have Baker look it over...good advice.

Any more on the porting? Look at the Safari Grade on GunsAmerica...use Sako 375 as a search once there. That pix of the porting could have been taken of my gun, it is so identical.

By the way...mine is a Stoger import. I think all the Safaris may have been, though...?
