Hello Gang
I was a tactical marksman, two out of my three tours in vietnam. I did not use bolt action rifles. So I'm new to them. After 33 years I decide to shoot paper long distance and close, Just for accuracy, fun and maybe some competition.
I put together Remington 700 SS R5 Mil-spec., An IOR 10X56 mil scope,
with modified mil_spec lighted reticle. I shoot all same lot Federal Gold Match,168 Grain ,boat-tail. I use a Can on it some of the time. It hits very good . Well enough foreplay. My question is with the loading spring, It seems to be clumsy.And mis-feeds alot. I have just been single loading it. I called Remington seems be a very good company most likely of the best I have worked with. No questions ask they Are mailing me a new spring. I wish to find out any of you experience some off youHello Gang

My favorite Gun shop is Heritage Arms in Salt Lake City UT. The folks around there seem to think M-14 magazine etc ,modifications are not a good solution. Any suggestions on these? Or any other ideas.
Thank you in advance for any help
