OK, I'll bite, how did she loose a rifle while deer hunring? Good luck finding the replacement. I hope it is as nice as what she had.

Those bolts are scarce. The bolt handle is silver soldered to the body. If you stick a bolt with a hot reload and try to tap it loose it may break, hence their scarcity. You can watch the gun auction sites or do a Google search for one. And you do realize the headspace will need to be checked before firing it with the replacement bolt. Tight is easy to correct, loose isn't.

Hello, I tried most of the part places,with no luck.  :( I have a part time gunsmithing business,so I have all the right tools to make head space right. Hope to retire in about 2 years and do general smithing full time.

Thanks for any help on this problem.  Tom    :)

As much as I hate to say it you will probably have to buy another complete rifle to get the bolt. A buddy of mine looked for a full year and ended up buying a complete rifle just to get the bolt.
