[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1372530, member: 54178"] WildRose, The bolt is not polished and shows a few machining marks. OTOH, I had my Stainless Stalker Browning A-Bolt Teflon coated and the coated bolt inside the coated receiver is as slick as snot on a doorknob. (See below for Browning's good design.) Don, you're right, I never noticed this problem until I got to the field with the rifle. This RAP is very accurate, as in 1/2" groups with 140 gr. ELD-M and sometimes with 143 gr. ELD-X ammo. I want to keep it. It's just that Ruger's bolt cams are designed for easier bolt handle lift. I think that is where the problem lies. My .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt has two small vertical pins that move up into the bolt when the safety is ON, locking the bolt handle in place. Wish Ruger had gone that extra design step. Eric B.
