Hi all,
I just bought savage mk II fkp at cabella's.
When working with the bolt I noticed that it would get stuck when I am opening or closing the bolt. It would come up, stop, and only when i would give a further push it would open or close.
On closer inspection it looks like the fit is a little too tight on the rail and the bolt.
Here are some photos:

grease marks are my futile attempts to oil her up and get it working smoothly.
As a new guy at the shooting scene this is my first bolt-action, and I'm not sure if it is supposed to stop mid-way like that.
Are all the savage mark 2's like that? Should I get an exchange? Or will it break itself in after shooting?
I appreciate your help.
