SURRRRRE got quiet in here now eh?
Just to be clear, it's not all roses, daisies and cloverleaf targets with this rifle either. my ONLY 3 complaints about the rifle as it comes out of the box.
1. no 3 position safety. Rem-lin-ton is working on this and the 2013 version MAY have a true 3 position safety. Its' unclear right now if this will be retrofit to previous rifles. I doubt it.
2. the stock stock is FLIMSY. A check to Boyd's shoudl be sent the week before picking your rifle up at Cabelas.
3. No DBM. ifyou don't know what a DBM is, then don't worry about it. Some people don't mind a blind magazine, but I'd like to have support for a 5 and 10 round DBM. I'm working on modifying my rifle to take one. If i can get a solution worked out, I may be happier, but i'm also not cutting a hole in the bottom of my boyd's stock. the DBM would be put on with the factory tupperware which i've also stiffened dramatically with a piece of aluminum angle stock. and some epoxy. it's not pretty, but it stiffened up the forearm alot.
Have at it...I like my rifle. And even though I like to tinker, i'll probably leave well enough alone now and focus on the nut behind the butt for any future improvements.
