I looked mine over real close. They use the same finish on the bolt head as the use on the exterior finish of the rifle. The bolt lugs have the same rough finish on them but both are making contact and the base of the brass makes full contact with the bolt head when closing the bolt on a case. I...

I have the SPS.

It would probably be cheaper and easier in the long run. I have no complaints about mine now but if you have to change the trigger and the stock you can probably get an upgraded version for about the same or less money with what you want to start with. I mainly wanted to see if they were worth...

Mine was full of crap also. I never shoot a new firearm of any manufacture of any type without cleaning it first.

Those stocks feel pretty solid when attached to the rifle but take it apart and they flex pretty bad. The fore end flexes and they also have the bumps putting upward pressure on the barrel. Shooting off a bench, you have to be sure to have the fore end resting in the same place each time to...

I guess they need to offer an option of getting them with no trigger and let the customer decide what they want. I had to change mine out right off the bat. Mine had the externally adjustable trigger and it only got down to 4.5-5 lbs with the adjustment screw completely removed. Very happy with...

Mine had the adjustment screw in the trigger adjustable from the outside. With the screw completely removed it was still about 4.5 lbs. I put a Trigger Tech in and it’s perfect now.

Absolutely. Need to do a little more research before they jump.

With some of the blunders they’ve made in the past, it’s a wonder they can sell anything. Mostly slow twists barrels, discontinuing popular models, dropping ammo for some calibers…. The list goes on.

It wasn’t a fluke either. I had to rush the load development process since hunting season was coming up. Just picked a seating depth that gave me enough depth into the neck to hold the bullet and started increasing the powder charge. When I hit the one I’m using I quit. Here’s another but I...

They definitely shoot. This is an 8 shot group from my 30-06. I started with a 3 shot group and it was so tight I added 2 more and it was just wallowing the hole out so I quit after 3 more. This is with the load it prefers.

@Texanjohn has tightened me up on the stock. Mine is a long action but thanks for keeping me in mind. Someone else may want to do the same.

As far as surface finish, we coat them down with medicated vasoline and let them sit for a while. Friend of mine said it kept him awake hearing the rust flaking off of his at night.

Definitely a combat experience. lol 😂

Yeah I don’t like how they don’t have anything to index the recoil lug. I would have just loosened it up, straightened it, and retightened.
