Bummer.
Really? Wow that sucks, did you ever find out if maybe it was a production flaw? There seems to be afew people out there at least with them but this is the first one I've heard with a serious problem like that. Thanks all for the info. I've definitly enjoyed the little pointers here and there.
Thanks. I've been taking my time about contacting Ruger but I know they'll make it right. I should probably do that soon...
It's a small crack at the moment but I could see it getting a lot bigger if I shot it again, so I won't until this is resolved.
They did that. Ruger has bounced around from restocking them, to recommending that they be bedded before they were shot to refusing warranty if you so much as touched the action screws. I hope they are bouncing in your favor now. Its been a few years since they were discontinued; did you find a new one squirrelled away somewhere?
I've got a .458 reamer coming, with the intention of rechambering my Winchester after my next buffalo hunt. With the speeds I'm getting there may not be any huge advantage but I'll never know unless I try.
So this is a common thing? I shot the rifle as-bought, and was pretty crestfallen that my brand new $2300 rifle broke in the first four shots. If Ruger won't make this right then I'll assume my trust in them was misplaced, and so was my praise.
I bought the thing new about 2-3 years ago.
