[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2288534, member: 95344"] I'd check rail mount screws like Bergara said. Normally if at home I like taking the firing pin assembly out of my rifles while running live ammo though the action as a safety precaution. If not possible then I'd wait until I'm at the range to do so. If it were me I'd take off the rail and then run the ammo through the rifle again to see if you still got the hard bolt close. Not knowing where the exact location of the rail screws are I'm guessing Bergara is thinking a screw is contacting the bolt head or even slightly bending the action. Checking the torque on the screws will help rule out the bending of the action. Taking the raill screws out will even further rule out any contact of screws or bending of the action. I'd then check the boltface and extractor to make sure the cartridge can fully seat on the bolt. And lastly I'd check the ejector plunger by pushing in on it to see if it allows the cartridge to fully seat on the boltface. I hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
