I cycled some factory Hornady 143 eldx through the gun tonight, man the bolt lock up and lift is tough! It'll cycle the ammo but its not like the Tikka's I own. It is also scratching the hell outta the brass, maybe thats normal, but I havent had my Tikka's do that. I talked to CA about the nick in the barrel and they said send it in, and they'll put a new brake on and re-cearcoat it. I'm not sure I wanna send it in just yet or try and shoot it and see how it does. The hard bolt lift on unfired ammo is concerning, its not just a little tough I have to wrench on it pretty hard to get it to eject. What would you guys do here?
