I was thinking about a savage because my father had a 300 lever that he used for 60 years and never had a problem. My brother has several savages and not one problem. There savages also cost less than half what I paid for the weatherby. Go figure.

Thanks everyone for their inputs. Just to clarify a little. The bolt has never stuck after a shot. Only when unloading does this happen. So far this rifle has only fired 20 rounds to break in and 5 to site in. Hunted this last season and did miss a buck because of a misfires. Rifle on its way...

Only using weatherby factory ammo

Why does weatherby send brand new rifles out with weak firing springs. Never had a problem with my Remington's, Mossberg, Ruger, or smith and westons. I hunt in cold weather, maybe weatherby is not the right gun for upstate, ny.

I bought a 6.5 rpm Mark 5. Brand new never fired bolt stuck. Dealer sent it back to weatherby. Factor reamed and polished chamber. It was gone 6 mths. The bolt still sticks and I'm getting misfires. Dealer sent back to factory second time and I haven't heard back as of yet what they are going to do.
