I've bought a Model 70 in .416 Remington Magnum. Say what you want about Portuguese workers, this rifle has beautiful fit and finish. However, I am having trouble with the magazine follower sometimes sticking so that when I strip the top cartridge off, the follower stays down preventing the second cartridge from being picked up. Is this usually a follower problem or a spring problem? Since I bought this rifle used (but looks like new) I wanted to make sure the spring is installed correctly but no where can I find any video or photos on how it should look. Is it possible to put it in the wrong way? What would be the instructions for removing it and reinstalling it?
Having written the above, I've been working with it and the last three times I worked the action the follower came up like it is supposed to so maybe something just needs to be worn in.
