Why do people feel it's okay to have to tinker with a new high priced rifle? If I pay that kind of money for a gun it better operate correctly right out of the box or it's going back from wherever it came from. Hinge pins, O rings, forearm work? On a brand new gun? If you like to tinker you can buy 3 H&R single shot rifles for the price of one of a T/C and tinker till your hearts content. Sorry guys, I know everyone is different but I just don't see the logic.
