[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 311049, member: 313"] I had the same problem with a Tikka that was custom bedded. Like yours, if I held the magazine in tightly with my hand it would feed, but if not, the bolt would ride over the top of the case. It was returned to the original smith ultimately set the bottom metal in a bit deeper. My guess is that the bedding was thick enough to raise the barreled action enough to cause the problem. You couldn't see that it was raised but I believe that is what caused the magazine to sit far enough away that the bolt would frequently ride over the cartridge rim. [/QUOTE]
