i recently picked up a ruger scout rifle and have a question for those experienced with the action. the rifle feeds fine from a magazine, and you can drop a loose round on top of an empty mag and it feeds fine. however, if the round slides forward into the chamber prior to moving the bolt forward, you cannot close the bolt against the chambered round.
i did some quick research online and found another with the same issue, who sent their rifle back to ruger and recieved a new rifle that worked fine and would close the bolt on a chambered round without a problem. others have stated that the you should indeed be able to close the bolt after chambering a single loose round.
so, i called ruger they picked it up on their dime, and i got it back today. the paperwork claimed that the extractor had been replaced. i ran some snap caps through it and i still can't close the bolt after chabering a loose round.
should a controlled round feed action function in the way i'm descrbing. should i be able to manually chamber a loose round and still be able to close the bolt?
