Hi ( im a newbie for one, and know not a great deal about guns and this is research im doing for husband so dont laugh at me!!!
anyway,,
This is a problem my husband is having with his Tikka T3 Varmint heavy barrel.
The bolt will engage, safety off, and fire,
when he puts a cartridge in with ammo, the bolt slides forward and thats it! It wont slip down, its as it there is something blocking inside stopping the bolt from being dropped down!
Any ideas?

THankssssss in advance

It could be a headspace issue. Maybe this could be moved to the gunsmithing secton? A quick check by a gunsmith would likely get to the bottom of the problem.
