I have had a Browning A Bolt chambered in 25-06 for about 20 years now and have had wonderful luck with it. Most things that I decide to shoot at aren't around much longer. Having plenty of guns to choose from, I still grab this rifle even for weekend drives around northern nevada to shoot any targets of opportunity. The last 2 weekends I have been deer hunting and have had at least 3 of these mysterious misfires. I had my local gun guru take the gun apart and check the bolt and trigger. He cleaned them up good and said to use it. This last weekend I had another misfire. Something clicks when the trigger is pulled but the firing pin doe not release. there are no marks on the primer at all. He said the firing pin was moving plenty far. Greatest gun I have ever owned until now. Any help???
