Congrats on getting the son out! He's taking after his dad with a great shot.Thanks everyone, I will let him know! And I think you guys may be right about the bolt not being all the way down.
+1000 on the bolt not being closed all the way. I loaned a gun to another person that required some extra effort to put the bolt handle all the way down and the gun into battery. A really big buck stepped out in front of him on a controlled hunt and he got the Click. I'm betting my name got ran through the dirt a zillion times in about one second after that.
