[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2288537, member: 5219"] Looked at pics of defiance actions perhaps the front action screw is too long? It would hit the bolt causing the problem. Happened to me with a Rem 700. All it would take is the bedding or stock to compress causing the screw to become too long. Loosen action screw and see if issue goes away. Could be some debris? Maybe the raceways have something in one of them or a small particle where bolt face has clearance but now hits? If it still persists, degrease bolt body and paint it with a sharpie to locate the tight spot. [/QUOTE]
