8mm/06 I think you made a smart move going with the Ruger instead of throwing good money after bad.Correct me if I' m wrong. You said Hertiage Arms knew there were problems with the earlier models.With that being said shouldn' t they make it right under a so called warranty?If not because of the their defects or flaws you get stuck. I don' t think so.I would get on the phone and talk to the president, owner or top dog at Hertiage.I would start off polite,if that doesn' t work you might mention how well the internet works to get news around the way you' ve been treated.I' m sure you' ll get it either repaired at N/C or get a replacement.You have nothing to lose but a little time.Whatever you decide good luck with your new Ruger. If you use the Heritage as another bench hammer make sure you have it unloaded first LOL.
