advice on clip feed problem

[Humptulips]

Here's the story. I bought new about 35 years ago a Savage model 111-c in 7MM Rem Mag. 110s, 111s and 112s are all the same action but most are not clip loaders hence the "c" on my model number. Love the gun and been using it all these years. Recently the shells don't feed up from the clip right. Instead of the bolt pushing them out of the clip. The shell will pop out of the clip after it is pushed a small amount. This causes the shell to either eject or not go into the chamber properly. I have three different clips and they all act the same. I recently replaced the stock and I thought this might be the problem but I have the old stock and it does the same thing with the old stock.
Anybody else have a similar situation, advice or just a favorite gunsmith you would reccommend to have a look at it. Appreciate any comments. I'm about to the point of looking for a new gun but hate to get rid of this one as it has a lot of good memories.

Maybe the springs are wore out in the clips ? My 22 mag does the same thing if it's not properly seated when I put the clip in.

I had a model 700 that had problems, and I fixed it by placing a small piece of metal between the feed plate and the spring.  I had to keep adjusting the metal piece until I found the best position.  Then I used epoxy to secure it in that spot.

Maybe pick up a new clip and compare them see if the lip on the top of the old mags have become worn allowing the shells to come out early.

have the bolt face looked at by a gunsmith, sounds like the shells arent locking into the slots properly.

could also be the action came loose from the stock, tighten forward bolt to extremely tight and rear tang bolt to snug plus a little.

have a good look at the lips on the clip. if they get bent just a bit it causes all kinds of trouble. aslo be sure the clip is locking in place tight...it does not take muchto cause a feeding headache.

Thanks for the comments. Gave me a few things to think about.
I have been leaning away from a clip problem as of the three clips there is one I have not used much and did not think it could be worn much. They all have the same problem though.
I'm going to do some more looking at them.
Can't see how the bolt face could be the problem as the slots are not engaged until the shell is chambered.
I also can't see the stock being loose as a problem as I disasemble it for cleaning almost every night when hunting or it would be a pile of rust by now. I have had people say that will effect my accuracy but that has not been a problem over the years.
It'll be going to a gunsmith if I can't come up with something and even then probably.

So back to the clip springs. The first two shells both give problems but the last works perfect. That would be the one with the least spring tension. To me that pretty much eliminates weak springs or am I looking at this wrong?
Thanks again.
