Does it cock on closing? a bitch to close?

what my father thought me is to let the recoil (small in a 6.5 so not much to work with but still) let the barrel rise up it gives you a better angle to clsoe it quick, IMO better then to take it down from your shoulder

also remember that these old recievers aren't made for todays hotter loads, and the 96 mechanism hasn't got the best reputation for when it actually breaks
