I went and picked up my new 550 American today and it is a very nice rifle. The grain was not as nice as I had hoped for until I got it out of the shop in the sunlight and then all of the fiddleback came out. I was not real impressed with the finish of the scope rings so a pair of Leupold, Talley, or Warne rings will be in order. I knew that a Mauser style action was not the smoothest of bolts because I have had several Rugers and an Enfield rifle. So my question is will just working the bolt several hundred times cure this or will I need to use some sort of compound to help this along? Any advice would be appreciated.
