Tikka feeding jams with Ballistic Tips

[hiyoh]

Chronos,

I don't know if he's actually taken it out of the stock yet. I'll pass it along and see if the info is relevant.

Thanks again.

I suppose they have there share of people with bad loads or who can't shoot come back and blame the rifle...

That's possible but for a tikka it would be a simple process of beretta taking the rifle back, striping it to check a few things, putting it back together and throwing a scope on it and putting a box of Sako ammo through it. If it don't shoot sub 1" replace it. Should be that simple and in Euroe or America it would be but not in Australia with our poor customer service culture

x 2 After living in the U.S it was sad to see how little Ozzy Retailers and Wholesalers care for their paying customers ,this is by no way contained just to the firearm industry!!!!

one thing that crossed my mind is that there may have been some issue with either the action seating in the stock or the magazine retaining spring

it's common for owners to remove the the action from the stock and when replacing it fail to seat the action correctly over the recoil lug, it's my opinion that this is where 90% of recoil lug damage happens. it's possible this could also cause magazine misalignment leading to feeding problems

I can't speak for hiyoh's setup, but I can tell you my action has definitely not been removed from the stock between the feeding glitch and now feeding flawlessly.

My rifles only for hunting to as you know so doesn't get a lot of shooting. Was something like 50-60 shots from 'problem' to 'fixed'.

Dunno... I'm stuck for suggestions as well.

Will keep my eye on it in the future as I strip/rebuild/shoot the rifle and if anything comes of it I guess.

It's not exclusive to shooting, but it is made worse by our licensing systems and the resulting limited shooting industry I think.

If the guy at the shoe store gives you s**t service, you go to any of the other 10 shoe stores in the centre.

If your local firearms dealer gives you s**t service, there may not be another store for an hour or more away and you'll just put up with it.

Too many guys are complacent with service due to this IMO.

4-5 hours away if you're in the sticks
