Action has a little movement in it.
« on: November 30, 2006, 07:09:59 AM »
I bought one of the old "Shikari" rifles in 45-70. It has a very very slight amount of movement in the action when it is "Locked up". It is not enough to be fearful of firing it,(it shoots good) but it is a little annoying.. Do you folks have any suggestions for tightening it up ?
The movement is side to side, not up and down. My load is 60 grains of 777 and a .405 cast LFP.
so it is not really taking a pounding.
