Maybe you would be interested in coming over?[/B] I'd love to... I built a 300WM - M24 Sniper match rifle that I haven't had a chance to shoot at 1000 yet. It'll shoot in the 16 pound class. Youz guys can beat me to a pulp [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I got so wired from this thread, that I just got off the horn with Illion, and they said they have no problems, and mine was the "first" complaint about the .221 Classics they have had... I spent the next 45 minutes telling them the horrors about my presentation grade .410 sheet gun... load 4 rounds, and pull the bolt back, and all the rounds dump... they kept sending it to "outsource" repair shops who had never seen an 1100 rem, and had never seen a .410. It took 3 trips to these jerks over four months, until Rem would give it to the "in house" (aka experenced) repair guys that fixed it an had it out in two days.

I kinda felt bad for her, I mean she didn't need to have me on the phone on Monday morning [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] And I did tell her not to take it personal. I also comfirmed that they have switched from H-S Precision stock, to the Bell & Carlson stock on the VS family... they save about $125 per gun... the buyer saves NOTHING [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I'll see you at WmsPort this year fur sure fur sure [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img].
