Well it sure is a nice looking set up. Good optic choice!Bolt jammed feeding bullets 50% of time on first use.
What butt stock is that?I ended up doing the Howa + Elf Owl chassis. It’s a little dinky and nothingView attachment 948959 like my Tikka but whatever!
I did in fact go with the Howa, hence the feeding issues.Oh I thought you went with a Howa mini. I’ve not experienced the feeding issues with a zermatt
It’s the JTAC that goes w the Elf Owl, took a few months to receive after ordering.What butt stock is that?
Thanks,
Doc
I've had three Howa mini's in .223, 7.62x39, and 6.5 Grendel. Zero feeding issues with the factory mag set up, a JO blind mag, and an Oregunsmithing hinged bottom metal, using the factory plastic stock or a Bell & Carlson stock. Mine were 22" sporter and two 20" heavy barrel.
Is that a factory barrel or a prefit? Did you buy a rifle and take it apart or a barreled action? I'm going to say that something related to the chassis and the mag fit is what's causing your jamming issue.
What are the other mag options? Would love a metal one but didn’t seem to exist for a chassis.I’ve got two howa mini barreled actions. One in 223 and a carbon barreled 6 arc both in trybe defense chassis. 770 rounds on the 223 in two months and 350 rounds on the 6 arc. Haven’t had any feeding issues and I run the bolts fast. Did you try a few different mags? I agree with the above post, maybe the mag fitment is off with that chassis or the spring in the mag needs stretched out. Hopefully you get it figured out, that’s a pretty sweet setup!

Nice build. How many rounds do you have through it? After a couple of hundred rounds, my Howa mini with a Jefferson hinged bottom plate is running smoother. It started out sounding like a zipper and was easy to jam with a slightly short bolt throw.I ended up doing the Howa + Elf Owl chassis.
