Gun Nuts,
I have a Sako 75 Finnlight in .300 WSM that I bought in 2006. The rifle shoots wonderfully well and I have had no problems with it. That is, until my most recent range session when I found the bolt was "sticky" or hard to close on rounds. It's still silky smooth as I work the bolt without a round in, though when pushing the bolt down when a round is in it's sticky. This is the first time this has happened. What's the problem? And/or, will some bolt grease eliminate this problem?
