Greetings,
I got a used Rem 700 PSS a few weeks ago. I had a chance to finally take it to the range today. I chambered a cartridge, took the safety off, press the trigger, Click. Ejectted the cartrige, and the primer didn't look like anything even hit. Upon further inspection, it seems that when the rifle is ready to fire, the bolt handle is not all the way down. Even applying slight pressure (which I shouldn't) it still doesn't go all the way down. I even compared it to a new Remington 700 in the store. The one in the store, had its bolt handle all the way down into the stock's recess.
I haven't done anything to the rifle since I got it. What could be causing this issue?
A few pictures to illustrate:

This is the most I can get the bolt handle down with or without a cartridge being chambered
Thanks,
Andrew.
