[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1331215, member: 70559"] When I was in the market for a new rifle I started with Fierce. (Back up a second. I had a Pierce titanium action custom and it would bind like you are talking about. Pierce told me to "choke up on the bolt". With that I disassembled the rifle and sold the parts.) So I tried the big Weatherby and it did the same thing. I tried the the Christen Arms and it did it too. The counter man told me to try a Tika. Smooth as silk. So I tried another cheaper one; the light weight hunter Savage. It was like the Tika. I tried the six lug Mark V Weatherby and it was fine. These were all while working the bolt from the shouldered position. While I was in the mood, when I got home I tried my Klienguenther K14. It was like the Fierce and Pierce. A light coating of gun grease on the bolt body smoothed out the K14. We are not allowed to put grease on rifles in the store. Now I'm going to try to sell my Klienguenther. It's too heavy for me anyway. Is that a good rationalization? [/QUOTE]
