Shoo Shoo, go and fiddle your over priced Tikkas some where else.
I picked one up at a mates place last week. Very light and nice to hold but the bolt slide would be the roughest I have felt. Ever. Told him to get it microslicked as that might help.
Tell your mate to read the manual.
What does it say?
They get better with oil and usage
The phosphate finish just feels a little rough at first
Action tolerances are very tight...tighter than some custom actions...maybe this gives them the accuracy
There are other features of the Forbes rifles I don't like
Its true. They have actions so rough one can barely load a round in the chamber! Anyone that has one should immediately on sell them, I will do you a solid and buy it off you for cheap, but only so they may be used as tomato stakes.
Think you may have done exactly that with me @Timmay . How's that tomato crop looking?

@LOC Sold it to a guy who had been looking for a 308 Forbes for over 12 months he was stoked to get it, didn't lose money in the end. Went out and bought a new forbes 260, I love my 6.5's.
Did a bit of digging, because the serial.number on that 308 was so low (21) it means Melvin Forbes himself did that stock by hand.
@LOC My current one is mid 300's. Looking at 243 or 280ai one now the 280ai would replace my tikka 7mmRM
