Hi,
I have just picked up my first centrefire rifle, Howa .223 stainless varmint mini action.
I had a shoot on the weekend and have noticed that the bolt is stiff to lift after firing with or without an empty case in it(without firing it cycles awesome). I plan on taking it back to the supplier, but before I do I was wondering if this is a standard wear issue that will resolve after cycling the action a few times or is it something else?
Any help will be much appreciated thanks
