[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 778087, member: 17593"] I had a similar problem with another brand. I found another thing could cause the lock up. Reloading with a too long bullet. Or, just a bullet seated too far out. Did your bolt fully close and were you able to fire the round? If not, it very well could be a long bullet running hard into the lands causing the bolt to not go fully home and then... it's stuck. That's easy to find; just run a round home and try to extract it without firing. If you can, that probably ain't it. Do it again and try to fire it. If it didn't go fully into battery, it shouldn't fire. Then ..I don't know. Icanhithimman is correct; and it won't hurt the stock to do it either. I like to put my foot on the charging handle release and then lift the rifle and punch it into the ground, butt first. Your foot will add pressure to the bolt and it will open. Maybe not the first time, but it will open. Won't fire, but still keep yer head out of the way. This way isn't as shocking to scopes. [/QUOTE]
