Im not much of a bolt gun shooter and the gun in question is my g/f's Savage .243. Idk if u need more details of the gun but its just a real plain jane Savage .243 20" with a nice bushnell 6-18 scope (its 1 of her deer rifles). Anywho, she has a .300 weatherbye rifle and that bolt you can manipulate with EASE. My bolt action savage 223 takes alittle force to "unlock". Her .243, according to her, use to be like the weatherby, but when we took it out this last time it was rough. When you unlock the bolt (either after you fired a round or if no round is inthe chaimber) its REALLY stiff. pulling it back and forward its smooth, but locking it its stiff again. like, u have to use more then what u should. Is there a way to fix this? somethng I should be looking for? I cleaned the rifle(s) after we went to the range but it still does it. Do i need to take out the trigger group ?
