Gunsmithing Model 70 trigger job?

I adjusted the trigger on my model 70 down to #2.5 with no problem. Just finished doing my dad's and got it down to #2.5 but now the bolt is hard to lift when recocking. It lifts fine with the bolt already cocked. I didn't pay attention before doing the trigger job so it may just be the bolt. It's a 1964 model. Anybody know if this could be due to the trigger adjustment?
