Re: TRG Magazines life
Berretta won't sell just a replacement spring???
That is REALLY predatory, since that is all you need - not the $175 magazine!
Reaffirms what I thought before I went ahead an bought a TRG anyway: Sako evidently works on the marketing principle that once they get you to buy their rifle, they'll really screw you over for accessories and replacement parts. Pretty unethical.
One other thing to check though: If the alloy block that holds the mag in the chassis has worn or moved, the mag will appear to be seated, but is actually riding a little low for reliable cartidge pickup by the bolt. The cure is to take the forend skin off the rifle to gain access to that alloy block, loosen its set screw, place a mag into the rifle, push the alloy block back into the mag (don't worry, you can't possibly hold it TOO tightly into the mag), and while holding the mag and alloy block in that position, retighten the set screw on the alloy block. Solved the problem for me.
