I've had this Axis XP in .30-06 for a few years now and I am beginning to shoot more and more. One thing that is really bothering me is the insanely heavy bolt lift. I have to put a lot of pressure with either my other hand or with my face to keep the gun from moving all around. The first half of the lift is easy, it then hits a point where it gets really tough. It is bad enough where I can't keep the target in the scope while running the bolt. . It seems like a heavy bolt lift is normal for these guns but it just seems odd how it gets so heavy at the halfway point.

Thanks for the help!
