Thanks and i to believe they are a good rifle with a very poor extractor.
I borrowed it out one year to a young man and commented to him that the extractors are a weak item in this otherwise great rifle, And when i got it back after that season the extractor was indeed broken.
Its one of those things that one needs to be left unsaid at times
Kind of like years back my daughters HS class home coming king came to school on the day of homecoming with a cast on his left lower arm as a joke.
I was on EMT duty that night and he hit the ground 20ft from me before half time and broke that same arm.
I saw it fold!
I just saw two of his sisters a couple hours ago and asked about that bloke and told them I think of that every time i see or hear about him.
