strangely enough, i don't have a feeding problem. i never have with my 552. it really surprises me that most everyone else has, since mine has given me so little trouble.
however, i've had one problem since the day i recieved the rifle as a gift. i can't use the iron sights because of the comb on the monte carlo stock. it pushes my cheek up too far to rest the front sight inside the rear--i even have to scope it using high mounts just to see the croshairs correctly.
has anyone else had a similar problem? i really don't want to replace the stock since it looks very nice...but i've wanted to squirrel hunt with it for a while and the scope makes the rifle a bit difficult to use at close range.
