Dennis,
Would be QC if multiple samples show the same defect.
Would be design if most or all of the samples demonstrate the same defect, I think.

Nice buck Mike!
I like the rifle as well! Sweet rifle, probably a damn good shooter too. Mike needs to fill us in on specifics. Looks like it's set up very well. Compact edge, 1955 or there abouts pre 64 model 70 with custom #1 contour stainless barrel, beefy Leupold with M1 turret in S&K mounts. He needs to tell us about the rifle. What is it chambered in, how does she shoot? Don't say 308 win though!!! I'm thinking the rifle weighs in around 7.6 pounds? Great write up BSA. Always enjoyed seeing your targets and notes. Keep em coming Thanks Dre, I appreciate that. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving my friend!! Specifics on the rifle are: 1959 action, Edge stock, 6.5-06 Rock 5R 1-8 barrel w/3/4" cylinder, Jewell trigger and the Mark 4 10x scope. Shot out the original .270 barrel and this one is pretty much done as well. Have Kreiger chambered and ready to go I'll install after I use up the last of the ammo for this one. Smithed by myself and a good friend for the barrel work. Forget the weight, but without the sling or ammo 7.6 pounds sounds pretty close. Other pictures here: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/11613018/1Absolute killer rifle. We might shop at the same store.. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ww233/beretzs/47977FB1_092F_4C62_BCE5_B654A39978E5_61776100263_60AA1793_3F8F_46DE_A8DF_F47385599CA7.JPG) This is just a plain old 30-06 though and comes in a hair under 8lbs as it sits though. It’s really a great hunting rifle. I must ask the details on that paint job. The style and pattern is exactly what I like!

[quote=6MMWASP]I did the same tall target test on a 4.5-14 Leupold CDS , it passed on one day before I took it to a steel test the following day. All went well until I went from 350 to 450 with a light 6.5 SAUM, I hit the fence post holding my 10" steel target with my first 2 shots and then it corrected to the center of the 10" steel. As much as I wanted the Leupold to track it did not. It did well for 2 years with minimial dialing and I did connect on a 625 yard antelope on the first shot. Perfectly placed 130 JLK. The same scope after Leupold FIXED it, it failed this year double, grouping 3" from shot to shot. I had 2 really nice sub 3/4" groups 3" apart. I am still looking for a solution, who TF wants to put a 2 lb scope on a 5 lb rifle? I have to add that when they returned the scope it tracked very well on several trips shootig steel Until it went south.[/quot I know, I know Talleys but it is all I had in my gun room to try the S&B on my 6.5 SAUM. I weighed it with the Leupold 10X at 6Lb, 14 oz. With the S&B PMII 10X it went 7 lb 4.5 oz. Now I have about 10 months for weight training before antelope / deer season. grin. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MpZQxPgm/20240128_131740.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/FsVLM5CK/20240128_140946.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VNRZvVNs/20240128_143942.jpg) Bet this one tracks.
