RE: first rifle
GB that is a rarity and have nothing but good luck with Rugers...now if they get it they will turn it around fast, I sent a used number 1 in for service last year this time and it was back in 2 weeks...for the Remington lovers that revel in this...my last custom KS would not even extract a shell after being fired once and was shipped like that from the so-called " CUSTOM SHOP" i got it back 3 months later...hows that for service. I am going on a 30% failure rate on Remingtons with all kinds of problems with them...maybe I' m just lucky.
