I have a new Ruger MKII 77 in 6mm Remington with feeding issues. Doesn't feed in CRF mode, more like a push-feed. Any options,or need send in for facory repairs?Have only tried remington factory ammo so far......
Something simple as improper tension on the extractor can cause this. If there is too much bend in the tail w/ too much tension, it will bind and the cartridge head will not immediately snap behind the claw against the bolt face as it clears the mag box. Too little tension and it will drop out.
A burr or rough suface behind the claw and/or at the bolt face can cause binding as well.
If the follower and/or the cartridges snag or bind w/in the mag box, you'll have all sorts of issues. The follower/cartridge(s) must smoothly and freely move up and down w/in the box. As you are stripping the top round out of the mag box, the follower and rounds below it must smoothly give way slightly while maintaining even upwards pressure. Any binding in this movement can prevent the cartridge from smoothly being pushed up behind the claw. If it binds badly, you can jam the cartridge between the rails and the cartridges/follower below. Often the box has burrs along its joint and/or the follower is rough along its edge. The mag box could be bent or not properly assembled in the rifle so that it is cocked and binding between the receiver and bottom metal.
Many simple things can cause this alone or in combination.
