Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Tikka bolt stuck!

I put a round in the magazine of my 6.5 Tikka, and then went to cycle it into the chamber. The bolt stuck just before it was fully closed with the handle in the "up" position...not just sticky, but actually feels like it's locked there. I think I read about this problem, its cause, and its solution, somewhere on-line, but can't find that info now. Help???

Thanks to all who took a look at my post. The problem was my own stupidity and forgetfulness. The round I was trying to chamber was built specifically for an M38 Husqvarna I owned at one time. I had increased the cartridge OAL to the point where it couldn't be chambered in the less generous Tikka. Lesson learned!
