I bought a Midland .243 brand new, first centre fire rifle too, had the same sloppy bolt as u have mentioned, and had a habit of jamming when loading, instead of the bullet sliding up and into the breech, it would leave the bottom of the case in the internal mag thus causing the bullet to elevate the front and jam into the top of the breech. Useless as, and I could never group with it either, took it back and traded it on brand new Winchester Trapper 3030............beautiful rifle, regret selling it actually.
