"... You have a great action there with the Mark X, mine was a bit stiff initially, slowly coming good.

I use RED jeweler's rouge smeared all over the bolt and action and I work the bolt a few hundred times while watching TV. Then I thoroughly clean everything with brake cleaner and apply lithium grease. The results is a slippery smooth action.

Thanks for the great fix mate!
Been quite a while since I had a few shots, been too bloody busy looking after grandkids!

You're not Robinson Crusoe there, mate!
but wouldn't swap it...

Friend of mine brought a Ruger M77 stainless Alaskan to buffalo camp a few years ago, in .416 Ruger.
We spent the night before the hunt doing the same thing with fine valve-grinding paste!
Sounds brutal, but it needed it!
