My sister shot several rounds of Skeet with my Citori. She unknowingly gouged the heck out of the stock with the zipper from the coat she was wearing every time she opened the action.
It was the last time I saw her before she passed away.

Back in the 70's my Dad worked up some loads for his 788 22-250 during the winter and we went out and shot it in the summer. After he shot it the bolt wouldn't open so we took it home and he tapped on the handle with a rubber mallet which broke the bolt handle off. He sent it in the Remington who fixed it and sent it back along with the case which had a cratered primer. He firmly believes in "extreme" powders now.
you lucked out with Remington. i sent my 788 back to them and they said they wouldn't/couldn't fix it.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

Back in the 70's I built a custom rifle. Mauser MK10, trued & lapped. Douglas premium '06 ack imp barrel. Fajen fancy claro walnut stock. Sanded & finished the stock myself, taking several months to do it. In elk season of '11, I slipped on a snow covered, downed log while walking down hill. Fell on the stock and snapped it in half at the receiver and bent the barrel enough that it never shot right even after a new stock.
