[QUOTE="Deadhead01, post: 2304172, member: 120161"] I bought one on line, 308. Brand new in the box. Shot it one time at the range and the second live round stuck and didn't have room to close the bolt. The live round wouldn't go in or come out. Gunsmith got it dislodged for $125. They said the head space should be checked to see if clearance was the issue causing the initial jam. Head space tolerance was out of specification. Gunsmith adjusted $300. More bad news, the ejector isn't working. Gunsmith is trying to get one from Remington, (just now back in production) but the lead time at this point is unknown. Deer season starts in about three weeks and the potential integrity of the rifle for that time is unknown. I wish I had bought the Ruger. [/QUOTE]
