I post on other forums, if that makes my claim more legit on the broken bolt stop. Mine hasn't left the safe in years due to that weakness. I've asked several gunsmiths to put a side bolt release on it like the Nosler rifles to no avail or to install a stronger screw (wasn't enough room to do so). If I could get that one issue fixed, would customize the rifle and hunt it a lot more as it was my first rifle.
Everything else about the rifle is great though (one piece bolt, M16 extractor, robust action, etc.).
I should have used the "tongue in cheek" smiley when I posted that! I believe what you and the others are saying. That bolt stop screw looks tiny, and I could imagine how it would fail.
