[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1286878, member: 605"] A buddy handed me a Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby and asked me to make it a 6.5-300 Weatherby. I've not spent much time working with this model. It's chambered and fit to the factory, plastic stock now. I told him should get another stock but this is what he wants for now. The last round in the magazine will not feed. The base pops up under the bolt when closing. When putting one round in the magazine it wants to pop up rather than stay in place without fiddling. I built up the high side with electrical tape basically increasing the angle and it feeds fine. I can't find any followers out there for this specific model so I'm hoping someone here has dealt with this and has ideas. Weatherby is going to send me a new plastic follower. I'd rather use the metal one if I have my druthers. [/QUOTE]
