Default T-bolt time

Well after countless problems with the Savage model 93 I finally got my T-bolt target/varmit might try to get out to the range thursday and see what she's made of. As for the savage it got packaged and sent back for rework. Hope it comes back shooting as good as it did when I first got it.

What were all the problems with your savage? You got a Pic of the T-Bolt? Is that made by browning?

I can tell you Cooter's new t-bolt is a shooter! And he can cycle it like a semi-auto. Cooter shoots left handed and he bought a right handed gun, off a bipod he is quick.

they are a great rifle, I have the varmint in 22 and .17hmr. I was saying the other day I wish I had bought them in left handed, as you can cycle much faster.

WJ,Turns out my savage was great out of the box but after about 500 rounds only 3 of 5 rounds would fire. Reworked the bolt a couple times. no dice. Last time I took it out 4 of 9 rounds would fire.It seems it was getting worse. Haven't took any pic's of the T-bolt yet. And yes it is a Browning. took it out on tuesday to sight.I must say I was very happy with the result. This is a very accurate rifle. The T-bolt is a TGT/VRMT model.
