I just want mine (Ruger) to go bang every time. It’s a 300 bo. Headspace is long, I think.

The Remington bolt handle looks more useful.

Yeah, when it falls off you can club a deer with it.

Good example of "followship" instead of "leadership".

Here we go again with Yet another cheap ass budget gun, well crafted rifles you can take pride in owning are getting more and more scarce......They will sell these budget rifles for no other reason than so many shooters aren't interested in a quality rifle, they are only interested in finding cheapest possible rifle they can find, i'm sure Wally world will have plenty of room in their racks for these next to the Ruger Americans.....lol......Hb

I got a little tired of the flimsy stocks on my Axis and American ranch. I decided when I got a 25-06 I would get something nicer. I got a Vanguard S2 and put a Vortex Diamondback on it. It barely shoots an inch with my handloads. I have put over 20 combinations of powder, bullets and OAL's through it. I think I am finally close to 3/4 MOA (maybe). I learned that my idea of quality is going out and shooting ragged holes in the .3's and .4's with 419 dollar rifles. Boyds stocks fixed my issue of flimsy stocks. Now I have solid rifles that shoot bug holes with a whopping 1 hour of load development. I am hoping the next round of OAL's in the 25-06 gets it where it should be but so far it has not impressed me in the least.

I wish remington kept the Marlin x7 as their budget gun. Was a much better looking gun. +1 The Marlin was a good budget rifle.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Enjoy the hunt while it lasts!

I Headspace is long, I think. There is a quick, cheap way to check for sure. Stop thinking, get it checked. Then you know......
