    Work Boots

    I'll second the WHITE's Boots. The only work boot you'll ever need/want. I prefer the 10" Hunters as they are lined compared to the Smoke Jumpers that are un-lined. I've welded in them for 30+ years. Spats installed will save the laces/lowers,basically 'till they require re-sole/re-build.

    Re: Bolt function Problem Remington's are cock on open & cock on closing by design unless the firing pin is timed. Bolt cycle whether cycled easily or cycled smartly will render upwards of 3/4Lb trigger pull variation no matter what trigger group is installed.
