Savage 64 .22 light strike issues

[u/Both_Engineering9456]

Good day, I have a relatively new new 64 precision (heavy barrel, threaded barrel, “assault style” frame) that I have consistently had light strike issues since new. I’ve tried different ammo’s but I’ve noticed no differences. I’ve confirmed it’s not an ammo issue as I’ve then taken the un fired ammo and put it into my old savage 3B bolt action and it fires no issues every time. Is this just a semi auto .22 issue that I have to live with or is there an upgraded spring or something else I can do? TIA

Have you tried to remove the firing pin to clean it? If not you should do it. It's a blade shaped pin on the top of the bolt that you can pull it out easily.

I have, atleast twice and it’s had little to no effect. I suspect possibly a weak spring but I haven’t a clue
