Glad to help. Will be cleaning mine soon, triggers getting gritty.

When you clean the trigger/bolt try this. I learned it at the SCI convention from a well respected match shooter at one of their talks.
Remove action/barrel from stock. Remove bolt. Spray action/trigger/bolt with gun scrubber(or brake clean spray which is the same stuff but cheaper) real good. Let dry and if possible blow it out with compressed air. The flood it with cigarette lighter fluid(the old liquid stuff) and let it dry. Reassemble. The lighter fluid will clean and provides plenty of lubrication. It also will not attract dust and dirt or cause the trigger/bolt to freeze up in very cold weather. This will work on all actions and some I just leave the bolt in place such as with my Rem 760 pump in 30-06, Ruger mini14/30 and 10-22.
This also works on pistols.

Another tip: Take a piece of fishing line and slide it up the bolt handle while pressing the bolt closed. If it hangs up anywhere then the stock needs relieved to allow a smooth passage. This can cause the rifle to be less accurate. Of course this is for bolt actions. I found several of my rifles that needed some material removed. On wood rifles be sure to reseal the wood so moisture does not get in.

Yes Diver. Thanks also white gas works too? Have a bunch of it ........somewhere.

For heavy recoiling cartridges it can also crack the stock.

Ask me how I know.

FWIW CZ sells a "low profile" bolt handle for a pretty good price, helps clear the rear bell on adjustable scopes or when using lower mounts. Easy to install too.
