[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1909639, member: 73596"] I think that there is some confusion about what the definition of Bolt Bounce is. My understanding of what the op is describing is a condition where the bolt is rotated all the way down and when you pull the trigger and the firing pin accelerates forward, the bolt handle actually jumps up. Sometimes its only a very very small amount, sometimes it jumps over a quarter inch up. I have a rifle woth this condition and it is not normal and definitely affects accuracy. It also causes a huge shift in your reticle when dry firing, which would usually be indicative of poor shooting/trigger control technique. In this case it is not. It is a problem with the rifle. I can't say for sure that this is what's going on, but it very well could be. [/QUOTE]
