[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1380250, member: 2736"] Check for action screw interference, It is not uncommon for the front or rear action screw to cause binding on the bolt as the stock or bedding is compressed. Loosen the front screw one turn first and try the bolt. Next loosen the back action screw and try the bolt. They both should be 1/2 thread low in order to clear. Next check the scope base screws to make sure that they aren't infringing on the bolts clearance. (You can feel the rear ones by sticking your finger in the action and feeling them if they are to long, the front is a little harder to check. This may not be the problem, But it happens often. The other possibility is that the mag box is binding it. If the obvious things don't fix it, take it to a reputable Smith and have him look at it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
