.30-06, ADL. The follower won't stay in proper position (can't a bit towards the back) so the bolt crosses over the top round/not feeding.
I've taken the thing apart about 50 times, reseated spring & follower (yup, it's pointed in the right direction - can't do it otherwise 'casue it's tapered). I've tried sticking the spring assy into the box first & sticking into the stock first ....
Even when being VERY specific in how I load each round (each being flat against the bottom of the receiver), everything looking just as it should, still the 3rd or 4th round won't always feed.
Rifle's only about 10 years old & seen not all that much use - essentially new.
'Bout driving me to distraction. I'm no 'smith, but have played quite successfully with 700s since the late 60s & can't believe I'm having this problem.
Tips?
