Bought a used Savage Md110 with a 7mm08 barrel that had been installed in place of original. I have to put quite a bit of pressure on the bolt in order to close it on factory ammo. Also the same amount of pressure required on new brass. Is it safe to fire this rifle or should I have head space adjusted first?
