Hi,
I'm new to this forum.
I recently purchased a Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .270 from Cabela's. I unboxed it. I tried to attach the (empty) magazine to the rifle and this required me 2 hands to push the magazine to the rifle until a click -- one hand pushing the barrel while the other hand need to push the magazine. I cannot even do this with my fingers. I'm wondering if this is normal, or am I missing some steps.
I've owned 10/22s, AR15s and Glocks and I never need this much force to attach a magazine. This is my first bolt action rifle.
Attached are the photos of the rifle and the magazine.
