Sorry to be so long in answering... I have had issues posting, thanks to computor problems...
Last weekend I finally got to shoot the gun, got the scope outta lay-away sunday, the 28th.
The action on this gun was...gravely, only way ta put it. My buddy Rimrock was working it with a little lapping compound, back 'an forth... when out pops a spent primer!! Wholly Crapp!
This is a BRAND NEW gun!
So we pulled the action outta the stock, found the guts, or anvile of the primer down in there.
Well... we cleaned it up, mounted the scope, bore-sited it... off to the desert to shoot it.
First shot, I get ready... we thought there might be issues with headspace...( in my mind's eye, I remember seeing Rim on the OTHER side of the truck fer that first shot! LOL!! )
Bang! It shot... but had to nearly beat the action open with a rock... shot it a few more times (store-bought factory Win ammo), same thing. I can't tell you how dissapointed I was...
Next big disapointment was when I went back into where I bought it, 'an the verbal abuse I took!
Anywho... gun's on it's way back to Winchester...
May never see it again...
