[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1790790, member: 110896"] My mistake: I just looked at the image again. Those holes are well ahead of the receiver; they're just short of where the open rear sight is to be mounted. Because the four miserably-drilled holes are so closely-spaced, that presents an opportunity for the barrel to crack along that line. In my laughable lack of knowledge about anything firearm, I'd bite the bullet and put a new barrel on it. That's the safest action you can take. A new barrel with a close-tolerance chamber will make that rifle better than the day it was boxed and shipped to the dealer, but who to do it? Hill Country Rifles in New Braunfels, Texas. They rebarreled an M700 in .223Rem of a friend of mine. It came back shooting .376" from 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
