DeakinRem 700 feeding problem
I have an older LH 700 that started life as a 270. Over the last 20 or so years it has been a 220 swift.
I had another bbl fitted last fall in 25-06. That should feed just as well as a 270 correct?
If the loaded rounds migrate or are placed too far back in the box it will not pick up a shell on the left side of the box.
No modifications on the box or follower from original. The swift has a block and different follower caliber specific.
Any ideas? I am loving the 25-06 but will not put up with a rifle that will not feed every time.
Thanks.
