Hello all maybe you can help.

I have a Kimber 84 Classic in .308 it is one of the older 2 position safety models. I just returned from Gunsite with it and had two problems which dogged me all week. As you may or may not know the Gunsite classes focus alot on smooth rifle function, and speed.

1) The bolt seems "sticky" or "rough" as I work the action it causes me to struggle a bit on reloading the rifle.

2) When I feed the second to last round into the chamber the nose of the last round in the magazine pops up causing it to jam into the top of the receiver as I try to run it into the chamber.

Any suggestions or thoughts on how to fix these problems? I return to Gunsite in two weeks and would love to have these problems solved by then.

BTW this rifle seems to be well made, but it has a plastic follower. Any idea why? To save weight, or did they just skimp?

Todd
