Re: new guy new rifle

am tryin to figure out how to put pics on here. havin a little problem with figurin it out. the gun is great, I will tell you alittle story about it, back 10 years ago i bought all the peices and was livin in ar so i took the parts to a gun smith to have it built and it took about 6 months and 600 bucks and i got it back guy said(it shoots great) so i took it out and shot it, well after the first shot i could not get the bolt open so we pounded it open with a rubber mallet brakeing the bolt in the process, and about for more hours to get the case out of the chamber,so i took it to a well known gunsmith in littlerock and he told me the barrel had gotten loose in his lathe chamber was egg shaped,so i returned to the gunsmith for an answer and found many mad customers,and he was gone to nver return, so i sold the action and looked at the barrel for a week and threw it out in my yard were it lay for a year and one day i ran over it with my lawnmower and thought boy better pic that up and later moved back to iowa and it has sat in the corner of my office for 6 years, and cabelas ran a sale on rem 700 stainless clip rifles for 449 and my dad had a 150 off so 300 bucks for a action i could not pass it up so i took it to scheels in desmoines and a very good gunsmith dan negal put the rifle back together for me so you could say the barrel is seasoned well.
