I hate to do anything to attempt to fix whatever is ailing my rifle in fear it would cost me the warranty. Just picked the rifle up Friday. Just seems like too many issues for a new rifle. Ammo is too expensive to keep jamming bullets back into the casing too. I just feel like these issues should be addressed by Bear Creek and since they are NOT NEW ISSUES, they should have been fixed by now. Bad news spreads fast and if Bear Creek wants the reputation as a company that makes products that have alot of issues, I imagine they won't last long.
