[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1296833, member: 12193"] I appreciate all the responses so far, thanks guys. I think my legal avenues are limited since I've owned this rifle for over a year and fired it about 100 times. The markings on the case don't really bother me, its the case sizing issues. Norma brass is over $1 apiece and I can't imagine I'll get many firings at this rate. I also want to feel good about a rifle that cost this much. Sizing each case takes so much force I'm afraid the rim will break off. This company is not a 1-man operation. More of a small factory. I will divulge their name after this is all resolved (or when I give up). The worrysome part to me is that this defect got past the original gunsmith, and got past the guy that test fired it. And after I pointed out the problem to them they shipped it back with a half-assed repair. Its possible that the same guy chambered it and test fired it. And they may have given it back to him for repair. I'm going to shoot it soon and find out if anything has changed. If not I will contact the manufacturer again and let you know what they say. I feel better about the situation now that I have some professional opinions on it. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
