Will Tikka come out with a 6 CM soon???

Push it in the chamber with your finger I can single feed any Tikka I own.

I realize that. But that isn’t correct. If I can’t just throw a round in and feed it with the bolt, that isn’t correct. Having to tip it up and push it in with my finger isn’t ideal in a field scenario.

I don't know that I've ever had a rifle with a DBM that single fed 100% reliably without some help. I always push singles in the chamber with my thumb on all rifles, even my push feed Model 70's. I've watched enough of Eric Courtina's hunters challenges to know that almost 0 guns will single feed reliably under speed and pressure. For me, it's not an issue.

Nose of the bullet just hits the barrel tenon below the chamber. So the mag sits low enough that a bullet sitting on top of the mag isn’t quite aligned with chamber.

But fed out of the mag, it hits the feed ramp which aligns it with the chamber.

Gotcha, I understand.

That’s crazy. Every gun I own, and have owned, prior to this one you can just throw round in the action, on top of the mag, and close the bolt without it jamming.
