Down the road a little further, and as I only shoot from a bench,,,,, the magazine was more trouble than it was worth vs. 'single feeding'
Next expenditure was a 'Fred Sled' from SSS. (A module with a feed ramp that inserts into the magwell in lieu of the OEM magazine)
Drop 'em in on top. One at a time. Feeds like a dream, and, at least for my purposes, I believe I'd rather have 'built in' magazine on the next rifle,,, (More stock options and easy to add a feed ramp for 'single shootin')
That's a 180 degree turn from what I 'knew' I wanted before I bought the 12,,,,,.
