[QUOTE="brentc, post: 636924, member: 16938"] I've got an older J lock generation stainless BDL in 7mm Rem that is not as nicely machined as my 5R that was built last year. The older BDL receiver needed a bit more attention to clean up and the scope base required bedding. Aside from the machining, the J lock rifle's bolt handle fell off a couple weeks ago while safety testing a new trigger. I've always heard of it happening, but the only time I've seen it is when a friend of mine over pressured a 300 RUM Sendero. So, for me, the QC is actually better now than it was 10 or so years ago. At least when comparing these two rifles. [/QUOTE]
