    Any of you lads shoot an 85? i just got one a couple of weeks ago and i have a small problem and just need to know if i got a monday gun or are they all like this, when you have more than one round in the mag with the bolt closed the first round stays in place but all the rounds under it jingle and rattle like fcuk and makes unbelieveable racket, i dont know anybody else with an 85, any thoughts??

    30.06, they go forward and back and small bit side to side, i really hope its a faulty mag because otherwise the gun is good,
