[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2343827, member: 68758"] I suspect inadequate diameter clearance inside the bolt nose recess, given that HS has already replaced parts and you're still having problems. The bolt nose counterbore in the breech typically needs to be larger to allow clearance for M16/Sako extractors. HS can change out parts till the cows come home, if the counterbore isn't allowing clearance for the extractor to fully swing out so it can snap over the rim, nothing short of pulling the barrel and enlarging the counterbore will solve it. I'd take the rifle to a local smith, have him pull the barrel and measure the counterbore diameter, and that of the bolt nose with extractor fully open to see if it is indeed a clearance issue.
