Another thread going on about the necessity of proper bedding probably be the cause of so-so grouping in a Montana. Yet some here say they would bet this one will shoot great? What makes them think that?

Obviously with the failure to extract it wasn't even function tested. Couldn't cost all that much and would have saved money and bad publicity.

I'm with Bob.

Lot of things I'm glad they don't make them like they used to. I'm beginning to question if rifles are one of them.



Harry,
The bedding under the front of the action and the tang look pretty good. The crap bedding is around the trigger area. RL said the lug and full length under the barrel were good.

That's why I thought it would shoot. Just my $.02 to answer your question.

The extraction issue is unacceptable...especially since Forbes has been contacted about the issue with other rifles. Red flags should be sent to QC to identify potential issues.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
