Thanks for the advice guys. Took it to a local gunsmith, he polished what he said was some machine marks on the bolt. Seems to have done the trick.

Absent an overly-long case shoulder (or an over-short chamber), I can't see where a bolt burr problem wouldn't have shown up with the rifle unloaded as well.

It's manually cycling fine now. A little stiff, but much better.

May I suggest using a AR15, stainless steel, chamber brush; along with a AR15 chamber rod. Insert the brush (sprayed with your favorite non-chlorinated brake cleaner/degreaser), and rotate clockwise 12 times. Then clean-out with a cloth patch...then oil down.
I also use a Wilson Combat, stainless steel 1911 chamber brush on the chamber of my 45acp Kimber 1911 --- In order to help prevent the action from not fully engaging.

Ballistol in a spray cleans and lubs everything . I use it on all my firearms. What are you using? |

As a reloader I also brought that up , a reloader could get around those problems. Shooting it it operates fine , it's manually chambering and ejecting is where he was having problems . He seemed to cover all bases and by bringing it to a gunsmithing , I would hope he checked his chamber and lease. I have a friend that shoots a bolt action 308 M24 very accurate rifle but has to clean the chamber after every 5 shots or it starts to operate with a hard bolt lift .
