Hello. I’m in need of some advice. I’ve had my Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 for a little over a year now. Has about 500 rounds through it at this point, and shoots quite well (sub moa with my hand loads).
However, I’m experiencing a very VERY stiff bolt lift. The problem only occurs after firing (both dry, and live fire). So essentially when the cocking mechanism is engaging. It’s so stiff that I have to completely break shooting positions to rack the bolt. I’ve disassembled the bolt to clean and re lubricate, it did nothing. I’ve polished the ramp where the cocking piece rides along on the bolt, also did nothing. I always make sure the rear of my lugs are greased, as well as the cocking ramp (not actually sure what it’s called). Like I said, the gun has around 500 rounds through it, so it’s more or less broken in by now. Any advice would be greate.
Thank you!
