Default Sako feeding issues

Hello everyone, I've been having problems with my Sako 75 Hunter reliable feeding. The caliber is in 25-06. The detachable magazine holds 5 rounds. I'm the original owner of the gun. When I load it fully up, I'll chamber the first round and fire. When I go to chamber the second round, it almost always catches. The only way to avoid this is if I cycle the bolt extremely fast, even then it'll occasionally catch. This doesn't happen with any other rounds. I'm not really a big fan of this detachable magazine anyways, since it's a hybridmade for several different rounds, including the 30-06, so the 25-06 rounds have a decent gap between the tip of the round and the end of the magazine, but I don't know if this contributes to the feeding issue.

What should I do, send it off to a gunsmith, mess with the magazine,or contact Sako? I don't know if the rifle is still under warranty, and I'd prefer not to pay for shipping to Finland if possible. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't want to sell the rifle if it can be fixed (for a reasonable price), butI don't want to hunt with it if I can't trust it.

Thanks everyone
