Ah shit. I might have someone to fix it. I’ll have them fix the trigger when they have it. I don’t want to say who. I do not want IBA being a pain in the ass with them.
Sounds like the rifle is going to a shop anyways, so yeah. Have them look over the trigger. I’m only guessing. But its based on younger me messing with a walker trigger not knowing what i was doing. Best way to learn how it works is to fuck it up!
It sounds to me like you have zero primary extraction. The ramp on properly timed bolt handle on a 700 should hit the ramp on the receiver moving the bolt just slightly to the rear as you lift it up. This is mainly to break free the case from the chamber walls, but it also moves the bolt back far enough for the cocking piece to engage the trigger.
If you pull the bolt to the rear and shut it forcefully, does it remain cocked? If so, the trigger is set correctly, or at least safely. Primary extraction really isn't an issue on a 308 unless maybe you are running extremely hot hand loads or the chamber is garbage. Not ideal, but shouldn't cause any functional issues.
