The early Pursuit rifles main complaint was the bad trigger. Since you have a second rifle, send that back to Traditions and have them either replace it or fix it... I am sure they have done a lot of them. Call them first, tell them the problem, get authorization for a send in, include a letter explaining the problem with your information and the rifle's information on it, and then mail all of that in. I am sure they will take care of it for you.
