My V2 Turbo bolt is a bear to cycle. Is there someone who is known for their ability to smooth these out?? Thanks much for the help.

What do you mean” bear to cycle” ? Are you talking cocking/bolt lift?
Are you the first owner?
All 3 lugs are harder to cock than the 2 lug actions however the v2 does have a steep cam which makes it harder. You need to contact DiOrio and he will look at it and make sure there is not any mechanical problems with it and fix anything that is wrong. Give Anthony a call.

Robert Oates of Faision , NC is the main guy in V2`s ,he has owned 2 , no body else has done that but Robert!
Closing is more difficult. I have a V1 that is much easier to cycle. I am not the original owner of the V2.
Closing issues provide a hint.
First, not knowing how much you have shot it......get the throat clean of all carbon/lead, as it builds chambering gets tough and getting the bolt handle down becomes hard.
Second, depending on how deep your chamber was cut you may very well have to push on the end of the bolt to completely seat the round allowing the bolt to cam over and down.
Other solutions involve having somebody with experience alter the slope of your cocking cam and putting a small radius on the leading edge of the lugs to assist on initial closing.
If the barrel was originally chambered exclusively for Eley and you are shooting Lapua closing the bolt could be an issue. The rim thicknesses are different.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this action. I think the things you have shared with make a difference. Again thanks.
