[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 3094014, member: 113268"] I just bought a brand new rem sps tactical and tried to shoot it today. I had a carbon fiber stock and a timney adjustable trigger so I swapped them out before taking it out for the first time. Some of the rounds would not load at all, some loaded fine, and some it would not load at first and I would pull back the bolt a little and bump if forward and the bolt would close. When I had one that would not close, I could tilt the rifle up and the bullet would slip right out. It was not getting stuck in the chamber and there were no marks on the brass. To be on the safe side I threw a go guage in it and it almost seemed to do the same thing but then I bumped move it around and it went in. At that point, I retried at least 20 times and it went smoothly like it was supposed to every single time. I tried 4 different types and ammo and they all did it including some federal premium match sierra game kings. Any ideas? Any suggestions as to what to check next? I really don't want to send it back to remington and I bought it online through Bud's gun shop so I can't take it back to the dealer and tell him to give me a new one. [/QUOTE]
