Mystro, you need to read the January issue of Rifle magazine, pp 32-38. I am not the only owner of a Winchester Jack O'Connor Custom Tribute who is disappointed with the quality control. Apparently the author, Brian Pearce, had some criticisms as well with the fit and finish of his rifle. I also understand that you have a Tribute rifle and are very happy with it but there is a huge difference between what should be expected from a 1500$ Tribute rifle and a 2500$ Custom rifle. The extra thousand isn't just for a better piece of wood. I don't want any hard feelings here but if I am unhappy with what I bought, I'll tell whoever I want and post anywhere I damn well please. And please don't single me out as "THE ONLY ONE" with any issues with my type of gun if you haven't done any research on the subject.
