[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 572954, member: 1290"] This is common on Model 70's that have the triggers worked on or replaced. It could be dry or dirty too but not likely. Don't force it or you may break the lever. Did this occur suddenly or is this rifle new to you? The bolt will need fully dissasembled and a little file fitting is the cure. Go too far and it's going to cost you some parts. Without proper training and experience I would be reluctant to ever advise someone to attempt this one themself. I really recommend a gunsmith with successful experience with safeties on the Model 70. When I do them I need the receiver with the trigger you want to use in hand to get it right. [/QUOTE]
