Looking forward to your range report.
I like it so far but, would also like to shoulder the laminate stock. Up to this point, the only negative issue I have with it, is the Ziebart like coating inside the barrel and how hard it is to remove. IMO that could certainly contribute to some of the negative accuracy reports. Its been suggested to use mineral spirits, or actual varnish remover to get it out of the barrel.
OF COURSE THE STOCK WOULD BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. What ever Remington used in the barrel, they should have provided a safe method to remove it in the manual.
The owner has requested that the recommended propellant be shot from it, which is fine. I will not reprime the cases over one time. One other owner has already noticed gas leaking on his 3rd repriming of the brass. Once the scope arrives and it gets mounted and everything torqued properly, (and warms up), I can start shooting.
