tikka t3 stainless 300 win mag not ejecting?
« on: August 31, 2009, 12:02:31 PM »
i just bought a tikka t3 lite stainless in a 300 win mag. when i put a round in the chamber and load the full three round magazine in the rifle and open up the bolt, the round looks like it wants to eject, but then lays on the magazine. if i dont put a round in the chamber and just insert the full magazine, it ejects just fine. is this rifle not made to have a 3 + 1 load? or does the magazine spring have to be worked a little more.

thank you

I would quickly take it back to were you bought it .The rifle is not known to have problems , but there is always one .  Do not monkey with a new gun.
