About ever 4 th shot, the bolt does not cock, if I recycle the bolt it will cock and fire a round. I have 1535 shots thru it. Any ideas of what I should be looking for.
Thanks,
Paul

It has to be cocking, mechanically that doesent change

Its a problem with the trigger, its dropping the sear

accutrigger? if yes,adjust trigger a little heavier. mine was both too light and WAY to much moly grease.
