Just got my M70, classic CRF action, back from a gunsmith who did a number of things to it, one of which was adjusting the trigger to 2lbs.
The rifle is not cocking consistently. In fact, it's closer to consistently not cocking. I suspected it had to do with the trigger and sure enough, if I apply pressure to the rear of the trigger while cocking, it works fine. I removed the receiver from the stock, a McMillan A3, and tested it. I cycled the bolt 15 times and it cocked every single time, no problem. I checked the trigger weight and it was coming in just a few ounces below 2lbs. Couldn't figure it out so re-assembled the rifle and once I torqued the action into place, the problem returned.
Has anyone encountered this problem? What was the solution?
Gunsmith is several states over so would prefer not to have to send it back unless necessary.
