Barrel release lever ???

[sureshot73]

I have a 223 that i purchased last year that works and shoots awesome, and when the action is closed the barrel release lever is loose, which from what i have read on here is the way it should be,  i just picked up a 7mm-08 for my daughter with 40 rounds thru it, but i havn't had a chance to shoot it yet, but i noticed that when the action is closed that there is no play what so ever in the barrel release lever, but it actually opens and closes & locks up noticebly smoother than my 223, which is smooth itself as far as i am concerned, is there any issues to be concerned with, functionality, accuracy, etc, etc, any advice, tips or knowledge would be appreciated!!

I would shoot it first, and if there are no issues leave it alone.  Don't fix it if it ain't broke........It will probably wear in a bit.  If it becomes a problem with either the action opening, or accuracy issues, follow the instructions in the FAQ's to check latch engagement......

Much of the time, these things take care of themselves after a few rounds go downrange!
