[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1330852, member: 50867"] When I got into tactical competition where fast cycling of the bolt was paramount I found that my tactical bolt knob caused me to push up slightly on the bolt as I was pushing it forward. That was because my hand moved up into the bolt at the same time I was trying to close it and the slight upward pressure on the bolt handle caused it to bind just enough to hang the bolt up briefly. I've since learned to put my thumb on the lower portion of the bolt handle when I start to close it and by the time the bolt is closed my thumb moves to the outer portion of the bolt handle/knob to lock the action. It took a bit of practice but it solved the problem. [/QUOTE]
