OP rusty75 Campfire Regular R Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,139 TN	Just bought a new to me Winchester 70 Laredo in 7mm R.E.M. Mag. After firing federal fusion ammo, bolt is hard to open and pull back. Scope mount screws not the issue. Any suggestions or who should I send it to?

Polish same, then try other ammo just for S&G and see if the issue persists.. Ex- USN (SS) '66-'69 Pro-Constitution. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!
