First things first, I'm pretty new to guns and I have a brand new VS SF II .223 that won't fire. This is the first time I've tried to shoot it. The bolt cycles just fine, I tried two different kinds of ammo, several bullets each. Nothing. I can't see any primer strikes?

Pulled those SAME bullets out, loaded them in the AR and they went bang, with no problems. I'd like to fix this myself if it's something simple I could do, before sending it in under warranty, if that's possible.

What should I be looking for?

Thanks for the help.
