Ruger M77 Mark I. Firing when closing the bolt.
I have a Ruger m77 Mark I in 25-06. Been shooting it at the range for a few months. Haven't had a problem at all with it. Amazing tack driver. Then... one day down at the range, I'm chambering a cartridge and when I closed the bolt handle down, it fired!! Caught me off guard, so I tried to get it to do it again, and I couldn't until I was down at the range yesterday, it did it again. I brought the rifle home, couldn't figure out what is wrong. I gave it the best cleaning I could give it. Started running the bolt in and out, and now just about every third or fourth cycle, it "fires". You can hear the click of it dry firing. Need serious help! Ruger repair facility wants $70/hr.
