I haven't tried polishing yet. But I will now. Thanks

No. When the bolt is in the most rear position and then pushed forward, it binds and is not a smooth throw to force the round into the chamber

The alignment is the issue when the bolt is in the rear position and trying to push another round into the chamber. It gets hung up on the sides of the raceway
That is exactly what I experienced and was explaining in post #8.
The ones I experienced were the Ultralight models.

Mine is a 110 BA
A new 110 can be pretty rough and grabby. My boys literally sat and watched TV and worked them forward and backward literally about 1000 times in one evening. They lubed and cleaned, lubed and cleaned.
Made them smooth and work properly. The large tactical bolt handle seem to be the worst about it, more leverage to torque it out of alignment and make it grab.

Okay, so the Savage 110 action isn't as smooth as snot. Remember that it is one of the most accurate shooting out of the box factory rifle available at a very reasonable price. It isn't first choice for a fast draw multi shot encounter. Use it's accuracy and your marksmanship ability to make the first shot count. Problem solved. You're welcome!

I can do that with a Remington 700…….
This will sound strange, but on third or fourth rounds put your thumb on the back of the bolt and fingers around the bolt lever and push it forward. Bet its just binding up because there's not any pressure from the loaded rounds mag spring. Just try it. If it doesn't work your out nothing but two minutes of your life.

You can buy a bigger bolt body. Midway sells some by PTG i think. And you can order one direct from them that is to your measurement.
I have a 110UL long action and get what youre dealing with. I jus spent a bunch of time running the action, lubing, more running and as much it smoothed up a bit, I learned the muscle memory needed to run it perfectly straight (most of the time). I put a longer handle by glades with a round knob, this helped me keep my fingers clear of the scope which was also making it hard to run the bolt straight forward.
