Well I'm trying to decide on what to upgrade to, either a savage smokless or another BP. I have been doing alot of research and I have a question regarding the 10 MLBTSS-II bolt removal. After reading the thread about breech plug removal I am confused as to whether I can take out the bolt without taking the action/loosening the action screw. To be honest I don't think I want to fool with ratcheting out the breech plug through the BP area, seems to be over complicating a simple objective. I'm from Ohio and have several shotguns and a couple BP's but only two rifles which are Winchesters inwhich I can remove the bolt without doing anything else. I am looking at the thumb hole SS and it has a suggested retail of $915. After $915 I don't want to send it off to get a third piller/screw added. Shipping, postal insurance, price to upgrade for the modification by someone and I am lookin at probably $1200. Might as well get the Nula, am I mistaken about the bolt issue?
