Sir I reread your post and have a possible understanding of your issue. Is it possible that the over travel screw is too far in? The trigger (after being pulled) has to be clear of the sear as the bolt comes rearward. You should be able to witness this through the hole in the side of the trigger. Dry fire the rifle on a spent primer. Watch the sear as you pull the bolt backwards, the sear should move freely down and not catch on the trigger. The bolt moving forward should grab the sear and engage it on the trigger lever. If the trigger is adjusted with too little over travel the sear can catch on the trigger after it has been fired and you are trying to recock the firing pin ass'y.
