Recently bought a new 700 and it seems the bolt is stiff to get into the chamber. Bolt lift and close are normal. It feels like the lugs are slightly binding with the chamber as the bolt enters, because otherwise the bolt is smooth moving around until the bolt face actually reaches the chamber and it becomes rough. Is there any way I can fix this easily or has anyone experienced anything similar?

Agree on that. Pull the bolt first with the screw tightened and see if you can get a small dental mirror or something similar in there to check it. Let us know.
