I have a Savage 111 in 7mm Rem Mag. It had the internal staggered magazine. I am having some feeding issues. It will not chamber the second round at all, as the case head doesn't seem high enough for the bolt to push it. It is also really tough to get three rounds into the magazine. The spring and follower seem loose, and the follower seems to stick up or down at an angle but I can free it by playing with it a bit.

Any insights? It a great shooter, but it's a single shot until I can get this fixed.

What kind of stock is it in. Could you post a pic to show the problem? There is a tutorial how to put pics on the home page on the side bar imfo I believe.

If you had it out of the stock make sure the spring and follower stayed in proper place when you put it back in the stock.I have had the staggered blind magazine spring try to slip out of place when you try to put the action back in the stock.
