So I pulled my .308 out to start upgrading it. I put a timney elite hunter trigger and a Magpul hunter 700 stock on it. After dry firing it, the bolt is hard to pull up. Any other time the bolt works perfectly and smooth. The only time it's tight is after firing and pulling up. Any ideas?
 
Take it out of the new stock and re-try. If no change, put the stock trigger back in and retry.

Just saw reply. Sorry, I'm mostly out of ideas then. Might try to disassemble the bolt, clean it all good, and lightly regrease when you reassemble. Check youtube for tutorials.

Possibly one of the new stock attachment screws is just barely touching the brass, When you fire the brass expands, harder contact.

Any scratches on your brass? Might not be. Loosen the screw and fire a round.

BTW my B&C stock on my 243 ADL had the exact problem. Screw too long by 1/16 turn. Two washers, Voila.

I'm having this problem after dry firing.
 
Ah. I reread your first post. Something almost has to be binding on the trigger. Text/email Timney they may have some experience with the issue.
 
I took some pictures.
These are before dry firing

After dry firing it several times right now, it almost feels like something might be binding inside the bolt. Is this possible?
 
Gonna add this picture as well. At some point the front action screw has come into contact with a lug.

Might have to grind a tad off that action screw then looks like. The new stock may not be as full in the screw hole as the other was.

Definitely gonna grind some off. Just thinking tho.... if it were this being too long, wouldn't the bolt be difficult to lift before dry firing as well?
 
You'd think so. But if the action screw has been rubbing the bolt it needs trimming anyway. It just may be pushing more against it with the new stock. Try and see if it makes any difference and let us know what you find out. ;)

I used my drill and a wire brush. You need a vise to hold the bolt. I don't have a vise so I used my son and some heavy leather gloves.

Is there anything I can use to sand that spot off the bolt where the action screw rubbed?

I don't think it will hurt anything, other than appearance, when you get the bolt clearanced it shouldn't touch so shouldn't affect performance. I would probably sand it down to get the high edges off it tho.
 
Sounds like something inside your bolt, Striker assembly and spring. I would disassemble the bolt, clean everything, grease lightly, the metal-to-metal contact could be the cocking cam in the bolt body interacting with the cocking piece. Light grease on those angled surfaces almost always helps. Also you might check your cocking piece to make sure it's not rubbing inside the bolt sleeve.

I looked it up on YouTube how to disassemble a rem700 bolt. Looks a little complicated but I think you're right. It needs to be done.

It's a pain let me assure you! Unless you have the tool specifically made for disassembling the model 700 bolt. I managed to disassemble mine yesterday tho without the tool. Had to slide the hammer piece back then slide a penny into the slot to hold it back, then the whole firing pin assembly unscrews easily.

I learned to hold the bolt in my strong hand, hook the notch on the edge of my loading bench while pulling down and slide the penny in the slot with my weak hand as soon as the slot is exposed. I've got it down to a mostly minimal effort now.
