Bolt doesn't lift much easier, but what i noticed is it's more consistent now. Before you had to jerk it up, now its the same resistence all the way thru the lift. It feels different and better. The front action screw was the one that was looser than the back. the back went a 1/2 turn and the front was almost a full turn. Thank YOU for your help. I am looking forward to trying this gun again once it warms up.

i also noticed today that the ammo may have had a problem. NOT sure, but each tip of the bullet (the soft point) was tilted to the right. almost like all the bullets were dropped on the ground. This may affect how they fly but i am surprised neither myself or the range master noticed this. Not sure if this would affect accuracy however.
