How are they getting stuck? Are you cycling the bolt with authority?

'Zup Dawg?
What brand of base?
Most times if you cycle the bolt with authority it will clear better .

However , unless the rifles is stocked with an aftermarket but with a high comb or a riser installed, the SNLR is far better served with peep sights or open sights.
Don't be afraid to try them, they are far more accurate than many give the credit for .
