[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1330841, member: 55944"] I've experienced the same issue with my Bordon rimrock SSR action. These actions are known for their super tight tolerances, which is good for accuracy, but it can be finicky in cycling. I noticed that my bolt runs much more smoothly dry and does not bind. But when I oil the bolt it gets sticky and starts binding. I now only put a small dab of high pressure grease on the bearing surface of the bolt lugs and the cocking piece ramp. This has stopped the binding. I also notice as the bolt picks up dirt from field use the bolt will need to be wiped down to smooth things back up. My sloppy Remington actions don't have this issue. I'm left to assume that the culprit is the tight fit of the bolt body in the bore of the receiver. [/QUOTE]
