Thanks for the advice everyone. It failed to run with a Winchester brand magazine also. Turns out the magazine is fine (a debatable statement when you compare the quality of it compared to a true Winchester magazine.) ;) The issue was caused by the fact that the previous owner had installed...

Hello, I have a Winchester Model 77 rifle (magazine fed model). I guess I'm seeking confirmation on what this rifle "eats". Info I had ran across on the internet states that Win 77's should be.22 LR. The barrel reads .22L (lots of spaces) then Rifle. It's a 1954, serial 8xxx. I do not...
