Hello, any help is greatly appreciated.
When the rifle is in a non-charged state and the bolt is worked, the initial lifting of the bolt handle is very hard to do. (Pulling the bolt back and returning it all the way forward and down feels normal) Once the rifle is "cocked" or charged, the bolt is easy to work, easy to lift etc. But once the trigger is pulled, the whole difficult lifting thing starts again.
Does anyone know what is going on??? I thought maybe one of the plugged holes had a screw dragging on the bolt or something but that doesnt make sense that it would only do it before the gun was charged.
I have not had a 22 bolt action rifle before, is this normal? It is quite difficult to lift the bolt, doesnt seem normal to me....
