    I would agree with Rupert, as far as I know the vixen, was not an option in 6ppc, yours may be a rebarell, and the short ppc case likely dosnt feed well as a result,
    I have a model 75 in 6 ppc in a target (heavy barrel) repeater, and it feeds excellent from the magazine.
    Given that most ppc rifles are for target shooting, single shot loading is the norm,
    I was on the hunt for a sporter Sako 6ppc for years, dandy small game and deer in a close, should the chance happen.
    Gave up and ordered a Cooper model 51 in 6x45, (.223).
    I be a bit careful about bending mag spring, parts for vixens, are more scarce with each passing year, they are close to fifty years old now. That we are still using, and seeking them, shows how long, well crafted tools can be in service, and the care and quality, of Sako' older rifles.
