Try it with a Finn Mosin. It should be easier b/c the gun will be "broken in", the recent refurbs are all a bit stiff on the bolt cycling. After a couple thousand rounds, you'll be surprised how much smoother the action feels.

As stated though, like the Mauser and Arisakaicon, the Mosin bolt is not he easiest to cycle when shouldered. Now and Enfield, on the other hand... butter.
