I had two 24B's in 30-06 early in their production run. There were a few flaws in the inletting - as if the material stuck to the action and pulled out. You could see some "coarse cloth" material imbedded in the material. Nothing that a little two part epoxy wouldn't cover up. The accuracy was excellent in both models.
I did have an issue with the closed grip which resulted in the back of my middle finger get rapped by the back of the trigger guard. I also thought the safety opening was excessive and a debris and frozen water liability.
I posted an extensive review many months ago.

Since then I have renewed my acquaintance with the Tikka brand at less than half the cost. Oh my............no brainer alert!

I do believe Forbes has experienced significant numbers of orders for this "lesser" NULA. Unfortunately there is a definite loss of QC and this will travel faster than a brush fire on a windy day.

There probably is a window of opportunity for Rick to clean this up pronto before it spirals out of control.
