First step is put EVERYTHING from the original gun back in. Than change out one part at a time and see if it works. If it does, move on to the next part. If it doesn't, there is your issue.
This sounds like a sear issue to me (either misaligned, not to spec, or installed improperly).
Bolt action rifles require a LOT of work and maintenance to keep shooting the way people want them to. Personally, I'm about $600 and 100hrs into my bolt that I've had for 6 years now. The only stock parts are the receiver, stock, and cylinder.
FIRE CLEANSES ALL!
