Beaver, thanks a ton for that counsel. I appreciate it. Regarding the bolt and bag interaction, I had that happen to me when I wasn't paying attention so I am much more attentive to that now. I suspect this rifle may get turned into a bolt action as I prefer the feel of a hunting stock over this target/bench model. Thanks again.

I have a Volquartsen, which I am going to sell. Not because it's not accurate, because its crazy accurate. But I have an HMR and a 17 Hornet and I simply don't need the 'tweener, the WSM represents.

No, just that one time. I realized the problem was me, not the gun.
