Remington 783

I just bought a new Remington 783 in .308 and hit the range for the first time yesterday. I mounted the Nikon Prostaf 3-9 x 40 scope and had it zero'd in in about 6 rounds. She was dead on accurate at 100 yards and I couldn't have been more pleased with the accuracy. I only put about 40 rounds through it and she fired true each and every shot. That's the good part of the story and now for the bad. The 4 round magazine failed to feed into the chamber as I worked the bolt multiple times. I would put my finger into the open chamber and slightly push on the round in the magazine and then work the bolt again and the round would camber. This was very frustrating to say the least and I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or could advise on what action I may take to correct this. Thanks in advance for any advice.
