Three. That’s how many times I tried to fire my bolt action 30-06 at a deer yesterday. That's how many times my rifle went "CLINK" while pointed at a whitetails chest. That's how many times I had to fail before I finally figured out why I was “clinking" 3 times in a row. I've only gun hunted from a saddle a handful of times. Yesterday was the first time I used my bolt action 30-06. Holy **** I will probably not be doing that again. After my 3rd misfire and chance on a dandy buck, I finally figured out that when I used the bridge to settle my gun, the bolt was getting pushed up ever so slightly. Has anyone else had this issue? As for me, I'll likely be going back to my lever action 30/30. Thankfully, my fourth attempt resulted in a doe harvest. Albeit was 7 hours later
