OH GAWD you had to ask!!!!!!!!!
Probably the Ruger 77 220 swift & a Ruger 77 22 hornet (squirrel rifle) since we hunt coyotes and crows all year long except the short time the seasons are closed about 3 months.
For deer I have a Remington 700 Mountain rifle set up for distance shooting across cranberry bogs and down the beach in 7mmo8 and a Remington model 7 set up for the thick cedar swamps also in 7mm08.
Also use a Remington 700 in 308, 243 and 300 win mag.
Remington 700 Ml 50 cal. and another in 54 cal.
All my bolt guns.

You've mentioned other issues, but make sure you're working that action hard and full stroke. You can't baby the pumps, they like to be worked. Sounds like you have some other stuff going on, but I've seen guys do this multiple times with their pumps and complain that it isn't feeding/ejecting etc.
