[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1486704, member: 24284"] I probably should have elaborated more. You need to keep the cartridges in the box before you start working on the feed rails. As I have literally converted 75+ Military Mauser '98s to magnum cartridges, I know that solving feeding problems, such as this, are not for the novice and will not be solved on an interdnet forum. With a 700 the first thing that should happen is to install an UM box and make sure you have a magnum follower. If the action was not originally barreled for one of the UMs, the feed rails will have to be opened some. As for this Sako, it needs to be in the hands of a gunsmith that can work with and adjust the feed cycle as needed for reliable feeding. Ya' get one chance when you start taking a file to the feed rails, remove too much and then you may never solve the problem. [/QUOTE]
