Please excuse my ignorance on some of the nomenclature of the rifle. I recently when through a basic sniper course for my department with one of our issued Remington 700's in .308. The rifle was one of the police packages that included the Luepold 3.5x10 and pelican case.
Anyway, every once in a awhile the rifle will not fire. This can happen at any time during a range session. It acts as if the safety is engaged and does not allow the trigger to move to the rear. If I raise the bolt handle and slowly bring the bolt to the rear approximately 1"-1.5" and then forcefully slam the bolt forward rechambering the round it will now fire. I would say that this happens about 3-4% of the time. Has anybody ever had the same issue or know what might be causing this? Thanks for any help or guidance with this matter, Josh.
