"Two words of caution: The Shaw barrel is pretty rough and collects copper very quickly, so be advised that unless you clean your Model 24B with great vigah, it will quickly cease to shoot well." $1400 for a Shaw barrel ? A Marlin XLC (camo dipped) in 7mm08 costs less than $350.00. It weighs 6.25 pounds. It has a fine trigger. It will shoot sub MOA all day long. Pillar bedded. If you want something different for the price of a barrel vise, one headspace gauge, a barrel nut wrench,and barrels, you can have a 243, 308, 338 Fed, or 358 Win and dozens of wildcats. Only upgrades on my two were glass bedding the action, a glassed in dowel to stiffen up the fore end and a Remington ADL steel guard (drop in). 3 shot groups went from 1" to 3/4" ![[Linked Image]](http://s26.postimg.org/80lln4qah/57847.jpg) image upload Go away, Larry.

If Forbes makes this right and the rifle shoots well I'd be willing to buy it at a discounted price.

I'm betting somewhere along this thread we will determine it is Bushs' fault.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Why is it your ass can't take a hint and stay away? How many usernames have you been through now?
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

I called yesterday 12 noon MT asked for an ETA, was told they didn't know, and he needed to go down to check. I asked to be contacted with the ETA as soon as he knew, because I was getting nervous...
No reply yet. This is a very good reason to just find a Garcia or earlier Sako and you won't have to wait any longer than the shipping to get yourself a damned great shooter. In a few years you still have a great shooter and a gun that was worth more than when you bought it...

Obviously you don't know who (or should I say what) Larry is.

The customer service at Forbes is surely non-existent.
If this approach continues they won't be survive very long at all.

Can't believe this particular rifle situation is still ongoing....does Forbes have any idea at all how much this has hurt their reputation given the readership here?
Good grief....
