Today gave it back to the shop to send back to Winchester (supplier) I am hoping, really hoping it is OK, and they can fix it, but......the magazine will not hold a single, by itself, round. As soon as I noticed the problem I made some dummy rounds. Projectile no powder, no primer. Its like setting a mouse trap. You put the 1st round in v e r y c a r e f u l l y. If yr not careful, it just pops out. The second round goes in....no problem, 3rd 4th 5th. OK. Eject the rounds 1, 2, 3, and when the 4th is ejected, the 5th i.e. the 1st round you put in the mag, jumps out as well. If you load one round, and it stays, tap the stock and it jumps. aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Any ideas on that one?
P.S. 550 Rings/mounts are different. Harder to get. I have ordered a rail (Also particular to the 550) so I have the choice of Weaver style rings etc.
I also own a 527/Ebony .223. I am going to have its children
Mate have a think about the Warne vertical split rings. I use them almost exclusively. I have a set on my CZ557 in .308.
