People say they are the worst semi auto rifles, mine just goes bang bang bang, every time.
Bergerboy, how are the rails inside the receiver? Look for a bunch of chew marks from the bolt locking lugs where they smash into the receiver rail at max rearward travel (near the two rear scope base screw holes). Once they get real chewed up it can cause reliability issues. To most that is the death of these rifles, but it can be fixed.
If you aren’t comfortable with a complete assembly make sure you clean the heck out of the chamber. If the chamber is dirty or has a coating of various oils and such it can also cause reliability issues.

Yes in fact I have taken apart hundreds over the years
