I know some of you use this rifle. I really like mine. At yesterday's match it twice failed to cock after the bolt was cycled. First time that's happened. Any guesses on a fix or references to gunsmiths familiar with this model? Thanks in advance.

AJJ  I had one of these a couple years ago with no problems. My thoughts would be some crud in the trigger or a broke or weak spring that moves the catch up that holds the firing pin when it is cocked.  Someting is keeping that from catching. Unless you have just wore the thing out.  I think I would start with a good cleaning of the trigger then check your trigger weight to see if that has changed from what it used to be. Yankee

Thanks, Yankee. I'll start with a lighter fluid flush.
