[QUOTE="Barr1911, post: 2376140, member: 121210"] Thank you for all the suggestions from all of you. I hope I can answer your questions correctly. The rifle was new when it was given to me for a tip, so I have a good history with it. I am shooting reloads, pushing a Barnes 100 gr. TSX, 3260 fps with slight primer flattening is the only sign of pressure. I’ve run 3 or 4 hundred rounds through it. About 3 weeks before ran 5 rounds through it to check zero and foul the barrel. Ran across a speed goat and it wasn’t what I was looking for so I emptied it; then took a couple of dry-fires at it, because I was all dressed up and wanted to see how it would have worked out and the action was working fine and smooth. Threw it under the seat came home. Went to check it before I put it away and the bolt handle would lift but the bolt wouldn’t retract. As I said before dropped a cleaning rod down and could feel the bolt turn and loosen as I move the bolt up and down. Pulled the stock and couldn’t see any problems, still didn’t work, pulled the scope bounced it around blew compressed air where I could. I’ve been trying to find my barrel vise, but I can’t remember where I’ve put it or who I borrowed it too. It’s hell getting old and feeble-minded. I also would like to wish you a Merry Christmas!
