I went out yesterday to do some long range shooting and one of my rifles would not fire - the one I dry fire every single day. The firing pin had broken.

I have posted many time you can dry fire all you want with a Rem 700, but in this case, the firing pin lasted only about 15 years. I have another rifle I dry fired before that for a longer period that has not had a problem.

This rifle, BTW, was one I took to Masailand in January as my plains game rifle. Whew!

Did you file a report on that hunt? Sorry if I missed it.

Sorry, I don't write hunt reports. I have a hard enough time just making short posts.

You could do like I do.

Have lots of photos, with relevant commentary.

We don't want to hear any excuses Smiler
