[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 969735, member: 24284"] I'd like to get a guarantee , too. That guarantee would state that the person getting the rifle knows how to shoot and has good handloading equipment, components and reloading technique. I've had one try one factory ammo offering, an import at that, and declare "it won't shoot". I took a look at it, cleaned it because it was filthy, fired a one hole group with the first handload I put in it and then fired another real nice group with an American made factory load. Another tried shooting like it was a 6PPC that weighed 17# with the forarm not held, just let rested , and complained he was shooting "way over the back stop and couldn't hit the target". That won't work with any 140g. 6.5mm bullet leaving the muzzle @ 2825fps out of a 12# rifle. And still another who had "accuracy woes" until he bought a new powder scale! Guarantees need to go both ways and usually aren't worth the paper they're written on or the band width they occupy. [/QUOTE]
