yall aint gonna believe this. Ok so last night i tried putting a cleaning rod down the barrel....odd, it seemed like there was no fired shell in there. I put a jag on the rod to make sure, and yep, no shell. Then i try lightly tapping the rod but the bolt wasnt moving and i decided not to force issues, ill take it to a gunsmith.
This morning i decide ill try an tear down the gun myself first and i stumble across a post about someone having the same problem as me, and they had recently changed optics on the rifle (i bet some of you see where this is going). I get to thinking, and sure enough i had done the exact same thing earlier this year, took off the scope and put on a red dot, and was going to sight it in later. I rush home at lunch and take off the red dot and the weaver rail and tahh-dahhh......gun functions flawlessly. Yep, one of the screws for the rail was a tad bit long and it was locking the bolt in place.
