Is the bullet going in to the lands (aka short freebore), take a magic marker and color the bullet then chamber it and eject it carefully. Check to see if bullet is contacting the lands there will be marks around the circumference if so that barrel has a problem. If the bolt does not go all the way into battery that is a big problem. One other thought is the hammer spring on the hammer the correct way, I saw this last weekend at my range and the guy was bummed because that was his birthday present and it didn't work. I took a look and reinstalled the hammer spring and he was all cheeks after that.
