I've wanted a .270 all my life but my remi 700 in 30.06 has been efficient enough for the little modern hunting that I do. Well my dad doesn't hunt anymore and so he gave me his "new never shot" savage axis chambered in .270. I was pretty excited once I mounted a vari-x 3 with cds on it.
I took it to Idaho last week for its first hunt. It didn't take to long to realize that when I got out of the backcountry, I would retire the gun!
My problem........it seemed every time I looked at the gun, the safety was off? It must of happened 4-5 times before I just decided to not chamber a round.
Anyone with issues like this? Can it be tightened/fixed?
Now I have had a guns safety click off in the brushy Washougal area when I was younger, but this is not the case. Also, it was holstered in my packs built in scabbard, so, it seems just walking/hiking is causing it to slip?
I'm hoping you gun experts can help
Thanks!
