[QUOTE="Mattivi, post: 2532829, member: 109778"] Well....I had a similar experience last year when I had purchased my CA Ridgeline Titanium in 300 PRC. 1st Barrel: I too had signs of pressure (actually had one blown primer) and rifling marks on the bullet. Had roughly 120 rounds through and couldn't get it to group. Sent it back and they rebarreled it. 2nd Barrel: They sent back two test targets ensuring it met the 1" guarantee. I got about 75% through the break-in process and got fed up that I was still getting rifling marks on the bullets and it was extremely tight to close and open the bolt. I took it to a local gun smith just to check it out. He said there was zero free bore and that's why the bullets were getting jammed into the lands. Sent it back again and the turnaround was much quicker this time. They rebarreled, checked headspace, and bedded the stock. Sent two test targets back ensuring 1" guarantee 3rd Barrel: TBD....I haven't shot it since receiving. It has six rounds from CA through it and is now up for sale. I bought a Fierce CT Rival in 300 PRC....for $500 more, it just seems more bang for your buck all around........ I wouldn't expect any of this with factory rounds.... I know stuff happens and many people have CA's that are tack drivers....I was not fortunate to have such an experience. [/QUOTE]
