I assume you do not reload?
If you did, you could try over sizing a case to be shorter, and then chamber it. If it worked better then you would know you had a short head space.
Actually, color a fired case from the good rifle with a marker and chamber it a few times in the good rifle. Look for rub or scratch marks everywhere but specifically on the body to shoulder to neck junction area.
Recolor that case if needed and chamber it in the bad rifle a few times. Report back with the differences between the two rifles.
