When I purchased the Savage 12FV, I had it put away until recently as now it is being ready when I get a change to go to range soon. I did notice this when I first got it but did not pay much attention to it until about 2 weeks ago. I mounted scope rail, scope and even replaced bolt handle, but when closing and opening action, it is not smooth. I have another 12FV and I don't have the same stiffness, it is smoother.
Any ideas what I can do or just wait until it actually fires and see how stiff it still is? This is my 4th bolt rifle so I don't know what to make of this as haven't encountered this on other bolt rifles. Thanks.
On a side note, the stiffness was there before I changed the bolt handle.
