That is good to hear. I am thinking of having my one son pick up one in 270. I thought you had some issues with the bolt going over a round in the magazine.
The magazine issue was with a Sako 85(also in 300 WSM).
Bob, the stock broke at the front stud?
That would piss a guy off no doubt!
FWIW, I've got about 500 rounds through mine shooting from a Harris bipod and haven't had any issues. I don't doubt your story though and I certainly don't doubt Beretta's horrible(almost arrogant) customer service.
Good luck choosing a new rifle.
