[QUOTE="Nitro 375, post: 1614720, member: 92067"] I had an all weather model, stainless, grey synthetic stock, .338 Winchester. It looked beautiful but I had numerous problems with it. Bedding was not done right so I redid it. Top of the action was slightly out of spec so I shimmed the heck out of the rear scope base. Then the bolt stop collar on the bolt broke, replaced it with a Winchester collar. Then the extractor broke, replaced it with a Winchester extractor with help from my old gunsmith . At this point I had less than 40 documented test loads through the rifle. I sold it and was happy to see it go. I bought a custom Winchester Model 70 after that, no issues. I realize every manufacturer has a blooper now and again, but this rifle never should have gone out the door. Also after the discussion I had with my gunsmith (now retired ) I will never buy another.
