RE: Finally got my "all around" rifle!!!!!!
congrats on the new purchase. i don't think the squeak is normal either. is really noticeable or faint? check for scuff marks on the bolt handle and the stock to make sure the handle isn't hitting the stock when you're forcing it down when cycling it quickly.have you wiped the bolt and receiver down to get rid of the factory goop? i would do that and lube everything up. especially the rotating parts of the bolt.
i'm another lefty as well. last week i just purchased my new go to gun also (for now). a "left handed"Browning A-bolt stainless stalker chambered in .270 Winchester.
