I have a 375 H&H Remington Custom shop gun that is left handed that I bought used. My problem is that when you chamber a cartrige from the magazine 2 pop up instead of one. Not exactly what you want in a gun designed for dangerous game Anyway I have bought a new follower from Remington and it didn't seem to make a difference. I installed a new magazine spring and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be??
Thanks in advance

Does it do it on every round, or only from a full magazine?

P.S. If you wanted a LH .375 for dangerous game, you should have gotten a Sako (push-feed) or an M-70 (controlled-round feed).

George,

It does it with every round. I even put the 375 cartridge in my 280 and it only feeds them one at a time. I am baffled, I noticed that the recievers are cut different between the 2 but I guess this is normal due to the taper of the 375.

Thanks,

Bluecollar,

I'd send it back to Remington...

The magazine box is wrong or is put together wrong. The lips of the mag box determines how a cartridge is held in a Remington. It sounds like it has a standard caliber box in it. They're not as wide as those for the belted mags.

BTW-- The Model 700 could not be considered a DGR, no matter the caliber.

Thanks for the reply, I never considered the magazine box as being wrong. I did purchase the gun used and tried it at the range, only loading 1 round at a time so didn't noticed the problem until I was in the field hunting elk. I don't use the gun for dangerous game, just for the larger animals that the northwest has to offer.

Thanks again
