Quality Control must be so lax to allow these rifles to head out the door. A supervisor in QC should be kicking azz in order to shape them up. I still think it is the best buy for my purposes but this is just plain carelessness in the final assembly and inspection departments.
I asked a question recently on the Handgun section about QC with their autos and a few piped with problems too. It should be embarrassing to them when you seldom read about a problem with Sako/Tikka and even BACO Winchesters.


My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
