Back in May of 2012 on a Kodiak bear hunt I reported a buddy had his A-Bolt fail. It happened under bad circumstances and I did not personally check to see exactly what the problem was. He simply swapped to his back-up rifle.

I just found out the other day it was not a rifle failure issue. He simply stopped carrying it and switched to a 700 in 338WM because he was tired of carrying the A-Bolt.

How I got the idea the rifle had failed I do not know... But that rifle did not actually fail. I apologize for the misinformation.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
