[QUOTE="Buano, post: 719742, member: 21641"] Yes, the bolt is hard to lift. The only marks on the case is right a above the base where there is a clear 1/4 inch that shows "rub" marks where it pulled out of the chamber HARD. I contacted Winchester & they suggested I send the rifle to them for evaluation. That looks like my next step. I wasn't at all pleased with what the Winchester rep told me over the phone — that this virtually always means there is rust or debris in the chamber. It's a stainless rifle that was likely unfired and we checked the chamber and found it to be smooth, clean, and shiny. [/QUOTE]
