I recently had one of these put together, but we removed the detachable magazine and installed the flush mount floor plate design magazine. The only downside to this is that the new magazine needs to be loaded from the bottom by opening up the floorplate and stuffing two rounds in. I was ok with this tradeoff because I didn't like the bulky and obtrusive detachable magazine on an otherwise sleek design.
I'm using hand loads - Lapua brass, 280gr. LRX. I don't recall the OAL but we are 120 off the lands. When cycling a round from the magazine it's very hard to chamber a round, often times requiring me to work the bolt back and forth slightly to get the round to "pop" out of the magazine. Once it's out of the magazine the round chambers fine.
Equipped with a Z5 I'm able to achieve 1/2 MOA groups out to 600 yards which is all the optic setup I have for this current build. I'm super happy with the rifle performance, just looking for recommendations on the cycling issue. Thanks.
