Would appreciate thoughts on this. While I have assembled several rifles I am still learning and would classify myself a couple pegs above novice.
I chose the Bergara Action and HS Precision stock. I bought a standard Model 700 mag box, spring and follower. It fit fine. However cartridges do not stay in the mag box. Doesn’t seem to lock in. I’m swimming between these thoughts.
1. Bergara takes something different than standard 700 box?
2. Spring to strong? But cartridge still doesnt snap like my REM 700 does.
3. Feed lip need to be bent some? Heard of this but doesn’t seem like I should have to do that.
Thanks and forgive my inexperience.
