Thanks Dog Down!,
I'll get right to it and report back. Quick question, does distorting the magazine affect the cartridge feeding?
Cheers!

I own a CTR 308…
– Most accurate 308 I've shot with handloads…will shoot 1moa or better with just about any ammo you run through the gun.
– The factory barrel is awesome, no complaints at all.
– Factory stock is sub par compared to action and barrel…a chassis system or good aftermarket stock will improve the gun even more.
– Factory mag is well built but there are issues with the mag release spring not holding mag in place under recoil. Simple mag mod fixes the issue but they are still over priced and this issue should be addressed by Tikka/Sako..
– Gun should come with a 20moa base standard or as an option….wish this was the case.
If you are going to re-barrel in the future to a 6.5… I would just get the 260 CTR factory option and save the funds for a good aftermarket stock…but thats just my opinion. I see no real distinguishable difference between a 6.5 or 260 in any I have shot with a good reload. The 260 as the advantage for available off the shelf ammo if you are not a reloader.
Dog Down!, Did you hear of a fix to the mag release spring not holding mag under recoil? My CTR did the same thing over the weekend and I'm not sure if it was the cold or the spring itself.
Anyone have recommendations on how to fix?
Cheers!
