I'm having a problem with my less than year old Rem 700 SPS-Varmint.
from the first time i took it to the range it was occasionally a bit stiff when i closed the bolt (on factory fresh ammo), and almost always stiff on extraction to some degree.
Now i can't even get it to close on neck-sized once fired brass!!
all the brass is within normal specs, and every piece was fired in this rifle. so as i understand it it all should fit. this has happened with LC, PPU (Prvi Partizan [same as wolf gold]), and winchester cases
I can find no obstructions or obvious deformities etc in the chamber or bore
other than a short chamber i am flumoxed as to what could cause this. so i'm asking the forum of input before i call remington and possibly make a fool of myself over an overlooked factor.
thank you for your time and any input you can give me.
