Everything was working excellent when it went pop! and broke right through the chamber. Bloody tape had slid up the drill bit and I didnt notice so I had drilled a hole right down through the barrel into the chamber. Lucky the wife was in a good mood and I did a particularly good puppy dog face with my broken rifle in my hand so I shot into town and bought another Superlight they had on the shelf at our local sportshop. Will get the original one rebarelled just not sure what, something that stands apart from the 308 (which is a bit of an ask as they just do everything..) and will feed from the mag. A 243 or 6 creed superlight would be cool. I have plenty of components for one.
    Can you do a custom chamber on one of my rifles

    Well not yet anyway! I would expect their life expectancy to significantly diminish if it ever came to pass that you were to hunt them.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Cool, happy for you. For the first 3 shots from the rifle since it had the work done and new stock, factory ammo, i am stoked with it.

    Picked up this M7 in 260 with great plans for a custom build but thought I would see how she goes first. Chopped to 17", DPT, VX3 3.5x10. 100gr NBT with a full case of 2209 doing 3k. Very handy little rifle.

    It isn't your money. Pretty sure we could all start picking you apart if we were so inclined. And yes, you own an X-Bolt so just zip it, hate to see people waste their money on junk
