[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2198189, member: 24284"] I would seriously doubt that the gauges are bad. Gauges are the one thing PTG must pay attention to. Gauges made out of spec can put the maker out of business. I have no great love for the maker of these gauges as I have had problems with their reamers and customer service. Another thing that has crossed my mind is, If the threads are a mite sloppy on the barrel or in the action, when you tighten the nut it pulls the barrel away from the bolt face. This could be creating your problem. If you happen to have a trusted gunsmith in your area, I'd take it to him and see what he has to say. He should have a set of gauges, so yours could be compared to his. I've contributed all I care to in this thread, so it's all speculation which is what the web seems to be all about these days. PTG isn't the only tool maker that makes .17 Rem. gauges. If you'd have called JGS or Manson, chances are they'd have been able to supply what you needed. Just because they don't list it on their web sites doesn't mean they don't have 'um. [/QUOTE]
