I'm pretty new to bolts action rifles. I recently purchased a Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56. I really want to like this gun but the bolt action is proving to be challenging for me. After the rifle is fired, when lifting the bolt, that is apparently when the trigger gets reset. This is not a smooth movement for me. Not only do I have to take my face away from the gun, I find that it's best if I then stand to work the bolt. Then get myself reset with the rifle. If I had realized how this worked I probably would not have gotten the gun. (There were none available locally and it was ordered for me, so I didn't get to play with one before purchase).
So are there rifles chambered in 5.56 that reset the trigger when pushing the bolt forward? Seems like something like that would be better suited for me. I also just purchased an AR-15 but I still would like to have a bolt action that would allow me to maintain my shooting position if possible.
Is there such a creature? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
