[QUOTE="KJM, post: 360825, member: 23279"] Thanks for the replies and well wishes guys. I appreciate the recommendations but I already had the Konus when I wrote that. I shot with it, really liked it, and of 4 or 5 guys that have them only one had a problem. The turret lock had a problem but Konus made it right with him immediately by shipping a new scope that day. Being in sales and manufacturing myself, that was good enough for me to give them a shot. I will have to upload pictures of the 5R as well as the venerable 30/30 that has served me so well for so many years. I can't wait for the Duracoat to cure so I can take them to the range. Two of my buddies are very good, very safe, very meticulous reloaders and are willing to teach me (worth it's weight in gold). Also, in a real life moment of "if you're gonna be dumb you better be tough", we inserted the lever handle back on without first putting the bolt and ejector clip back in the 30/30. Now, the lever is locked in the closed position. I realize this is LRH, not necessarily a bunch of brush gunners, but if anyone knows a simple trick to unlock the lever please share. Otherwise it's a trip to gunsmith. KJM [/QUOTE]
