I did notice the other day that sometimes it will also fail to pick up the next round. One time I cycled the bolt 3 times and it did not pick up the next round. I then turned the rifle over and hit the bottom of the magazine sharply and then it picked up the next round. Bad factory magazine? If you guys feel the magazine is the problem, please suggest a good after market one. Thanks.
Magazines are cheap. Get several. I prefer the 20's over the thirties for the range.
