Hi Folks.
have had my new T3X Varmint out about 4 times and am very impressed with it. Great gun..not perfect... but pretty happy.
I am looking for good places/choices (Canada) to pick up a one piece rail and lower bipod rail. Suggestions?
I currently have a two piece #61 Weaver set.

Also, has anyone had the problem with the magazine where occasionally it doesn't load a round from the mag when racking?

Coret@c carries steel rails by MDT that's 20 MOA...
I'm not so sure what you mean by lower bipod rail...?

I do have the same problem sometimes but I find that's on my part not pulling the bolt far enough when ejecting....( noob, I know...)

I’ve never had a problem with any of my Tikkas not feeding, but they all have 20 MOA steel rails from NEAR Precision in Camrose Alberta.
 
I didn't mention anything with the mags, just the one piece picatinny rail for the action.

I don't have any experience with the T3x but i know that adding bottom metal or a stock that takes aftermarket magazines might help with feeding issues but i suspect it is a different problem.
Maybe look at the bolt stop. Is it going back far enough to pick up the round? It can be removed for a longer bolt travel but shouldn't need to be for .223

Nobody is reading post #3 where I am trying to get across that it is not a rail for scope mounting I am looking for. It is a lower one that mounts on the forward sling stud for the purpose of a quick release bipod. This one is on Amazon but the mount is very round while the bottom of the TX3 Varmint has a flat forend.

I bought the UTG Tactical 6.1-7.9 in high for my T3x Varmint, it goes on over the stud mount but also has the rail for for quick release. PM me if you want I can text you pics if you're interested.

Ok, but in the original post you said you wanted a one piece rail and a lower bipod rail, and you were using a 2 piece #61 Weaver set.
