Do the extractor test mentioned above, then give Ruger a call. They have excellent customer service. My dad has a p95 with a feed throat machined off-center (FTF's every 3 rounds). Took it out, shot a picture and was ready to email it to ruger to see if they'd send me a replacement. Figured...

I don't think there'd be a problem...but it would seem like a .35 whelen would be a better "fit" for that action. If you're going to have the extra length...may as well have the extra "umph".

If it's leaving the case in the chamber my money's on either a broken extractor. It's about a 15 min. pop out & replace job, and I'd be willing to bet that ruger'd send you a replacement for free if you tell them what the problem is.

I don't like golf...but I love the "new" synthetic golf polos. They're classy, cheap, don't wrinkle, cool in the Tx. summer, and are designed to be un-tucked. The material seems to drape well over a grip. I can actually carry an OWB holster under them.

Boyd's sells their stocks unfinished, but really, I'd recommend you take a swing at buying an older rifle and refinish the stock on it. To me, there's a tremendous amount of pride in taking something pretty much worn out and making it look better.

I have the exact rifle that you're looking at with a Leupold Ultralight 2.5 x 20 scope. I use it as a knock-around rifle at the ranch. The shortness makes it easy to pop in and out of the truck. I think you'll find it'll work just fine for your kiddos. It 'feels' like the little barrel is...

Do yourself a favor and order some Hogue wrap-around grips for it. Just about the only thing you can "upgrade" on one of these, but worth every penny.

Give the Crossbreed/Theis/Comp-tac minotaur spartan style hybird holster. If I had the "lack of padding" problem (which I don't) I think I'd try gluing a layer of something soft to the flat leather backing for a little extra comfort.

honestly, it's about the same. The extra weight of the permenantly attached bayonet makes up some of the weight difference.

Priceless...thanks for posting

Theoretically you "could" shoot your M14 at Pasadena gun center (anything <.50 BMG is fine with them). However, I wouldn't recommend it. I've seen the target holders shot out twice (not by me) with the full auto AR that they rent. That M14's not going to be all that fun in there.

Ditto on the Savage 99...Simple .308/7mm-08/.243...maybe even .338 federal if they're feeling really adventurous

wow, the folding stock version looks painful.

I don't know what you're wanting to do with this thing, but mine's pretty simple: Remington M700ADL .243 Deadnutz One-piece scope mount Leupold 2.5 x 20mm Ultralight scope Elastic ammo butt cuff Galco Orion Nylon sling It's pretty light and short, simple, and parts are easy for the...

I bought a youth .243 700ADL with the synthetic stock as a knock-around gun for the ranch. It came with spacers to lenghten the LOP as time goes on if need be. I don't think it'd be too hard to fabricate a spacer to do the same thing from some kind of material.
