Xbolt 30-06 mag pops out

[tipper]

Am I the only unlucky owner of a browning 30/06 that has a mag popping out issue when it has 3 rounds in it?
Wondering if it's why the guy I bought it from was selling it? Tried a new mag and same thing.
Searched of course online and the only problem I found was failure to feed?
Anybody else had this issue? May have to scope up the trusty weatherby again..

Make sure it is fully seated to start with... if so - maybe sharpen up the edge of the latch a bit.

I thought that friends didn't let friends buy Browning rifles?.........

BTW the solution is duct tape.

Probably not, I have one of those magazines sitting on the bench. Picked it up a few years ago on a trail, had 3 rounds in it.

I had my mag fall out once two years ago, right after shooting a round . I believe it was not inserted properly (inserted quietly as possible) 2004 xbolt hunter

no problems since then, i make sure its popped in all the way

Was the barreled action out of the stock recently ? If so, was it seated back down in properly ? Receiver screws torqued ?
Just theorizing ...lol

Hi Kevin, I’m actually not sure about that. I bought it used. Hoping this isn’t the reason why it was for sale. Will check torque on these. Thank you very much.

Magazine rifles any make any model are prone to fail just the nature of the beast
Sounds like the latching system is not engaging correctly brilliant diagnoses on my behalf now the next step where to start filing

Some times it can be hard to fully seat the x-bolt mag when fully loaded. Try giving it a bump with the palm of your hand next time. Should click in place.
