[QUOTE="Marcel Matusik, post: 1048564, member: 33948"] Hi. I own a Remington 700 in .308, with a 26 inch Fluted barrel, with a standard stainless steel action and bolt. I have fitted a CHOATE John Plaster Sniper stock. I am now battling to load my bullets from the magazine. There are two problems. 1. The bolt does not seem to hook the bullet when fully cocked, to enable the bolt to push it forward. I have to push the bullet slightly forward with my finger before the actions hooks in behind the bullet. 2. The bullet is jamming in the throat chamber, and the magazine area. I have tried putting in the black magazine rim at the bottom of the stock, which came with the original synthetic stock, and also tried it without. I have same results. I have a feeling that it may be the overall length of the bullet which is a problem, as the bullet only just fits in the magazine space. I am shooting Sierra Match King 168Gr with Lapua Brass. Can anyone assist me with some advice on what may be wrong? Many Thanks!!! Marcel [/QUOTE]
