[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 1888156, member: 26820"] Update!! I took the rifle to a friends property and wasnt able to close the bolt on factory ammo. After looking at it, it appears to have a 30-06 sized bolt face because the round is too big to be grabbed by the extractor. That leads me to believe someone took off the factory barrel and I dont want to blindly trust they got the head spacing right. I know checking headspace and replacing a bolt face arent the hardest things to do, but I'm going to take it to a 'smith and let them look it over since I dont have the necessary gauges. I've never had any real issues buying used, and I guess my number was finally drawn. No big deal except that we really wanted to shoot it. He was laughing at me for buying something so much more powerful than is needed around here (he considered his newly purchased 308 a step up to a "big boy gun", lol. He's just never shot bigger calibers because he's never had a reason too.) [/QUOTE]
