New deer blaster.. 308 Remington 700 stainless, Bushnell Elite scope .. cant wait to try it

That's going to be a fine rifle. Make sure it isn't one of the ones requiring the trigger recall.
Yep checkin the serial #, if its a hit I might just forgo the recall and get an adjustable installed :)

My boss was telling me about those recalls. The story he heard was that the engineer who designed the trigger when the original Model 700 was built found the flaw after they had already gone into production. It was only 1 in XX number of triggers that would have the flaw, and Remington refused to recall the ones they had sent out or admit fault by changing the design. That engineer personally checked every firearm that was built for however many decades he worked for them, ensuring a faulty trigger never left the factory. He retires, and now rifles with the flawed trigger design are making it to market.
It seems almost unfair that I can have nicer stuff... almost.
I took the morning to put together a friend's Remington 742 that was brought to me in pieces and with a broken disconnector on the trigger group. That disconnector is a discontinued part, but I tracked one down from Western Gun Parts in Edmonton as well as new sear and hammer springs.
These guns were made to be carried into the bushes and this one had certainly had a hard life - it was scratched to hell, missing bluing on the crown, the bolt handle, the bottom of the action, and various scratches all over the barrel. Even though my friend said he cleaned the barrel, I soaked it overnight with Wipeout and the first few patches were pure blue - signs of copper fouling.
So, I scrubbed out the barrel, replaced the disconnector, disassembled it so I could get the gas tube out to clean (it was completely caked with built up powder as well as the handgaurd being caked in residue), and reblued the action, the crown, the magazine, the bolt handle, the handgaurd's sling stud, and various scratches on the barrel. It was a decent little project that went really smooth.
Pictures aren't the best, but I was in a hurry to get my boys to soccer on time.

it's like having a no peeing section in a swimming pool, firearm regulations don't work unless everyone is playing by the same rules.
anyway - wrong thread for this tungsten.
