Went to install bases and wouldn't you know it the jackass's didn't drill the front hole deep enough. I believe the depth of the front hole is the difference in diameter between the outside of the action and the barrel threads. Did you see barrel threads at the bottom of the hole?

Then I'll keep my eye out for that problem too.

I usually set it down and take a real dirty old towel, that i save especially for this, and shake it over the top of it. Making it real dusty. Then bring it in to the kitchen and start cleaning it. The wife will get onto me for cleaning my ol guns in the table. I finish cleaning it, take to the range and shoot. Wife is mad at the smells but none the wiser about my new purchase. This is exactly right, truer words have never been spoken. Nothing worse than the silent treatment and not to mention other adverse events that happen when the wife finds out about a new purchase that she thinks "you don't really need".
"Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty".

i re-install or replace the bases and rings if needed. i clean it completely, take it all apart and clean it and leave it with a wipedown of Breakfree.
i adjust the trigger if needed, and make sure the scope is boresighted and ready to go.
i shoot them first, and if they do fine i leave them alone. if they don't, i bed and float them and go from there. i just like to be sure that if it doesn't shoot well it's not from some stupid guy not putting the bases on tight or etc.
