So I picked up a Remington Model 710 in .270 winchester this weekend
at a gun show. The bolt felt a little stiff but with only a 60 degree throw
I figured I could live with it.
I know this is kind of a "value" "cheap" "low-end" model, but I got
the price down to $300 new plus some other goodies and I decided
to go for it. So yesterday I spent some time loading up some loads
for it, I'm gonna try some 90 grainers as well as some 130 grainers
to start with and see what I get outta her.
But I decided for fun I'd just chamber a round and see how the action
cycled and I found myself fighting to get the bolt down and lock
the chamber with a round in it. It will close, but it takes a tremendous
amount of force to do so. More than any other bolt gun I own or have
ever fired.
Anyone have any experience with the same problem? Or any
advice?
