Tikka T3 CTR magazine falling off

[Xav]

Hi!

I just bought my first precision rifle, a T3 CTR in 308. It shoots damn good but I noticed that there's a little problem with the magazine (which is Sako's TRG). In fact, the mag, even when well-clipped, falls after 1-2 shots, probably because of the recoil.

Anyone has the same problem? Anyone has some solutions to that?

(Except for that problem, I loveeee the rifle, it's very accurate)

Thanks!

Apparently this is very common, something to do with the magazine spring being too weak. Call Stoeger Canada, they should be able to sort you out.

Interesting. I've never had that issue. The mag clicks in nice and snug and doesn't even rattle.
