I believe the scope mount screws were holding it up. They are tapped down into the bolt housing. As far as the round, It was a handload with new brass. There was no damage or scratches on it at all. I took it out to my reloading area and no problems with the fit in the cartridge gauge for the 243 Win. I also pulled the bolt and didn't see any scratches. At the range, I put a dozen rounds through it and it was quarter size groups at 50 yards'. Not as good as my Remington 700 243 Winchester but passable for the distances I'll be shooting. Although, I will have to get a better scope on it for next year.
I had to Google that one, at first I thought it was some kind of music.
I hear what you’re saying about those expensive cars.Hola ..
Worked a Food Giveaway from 9 AM till Noon .. this was mostly a raw food event .. boxes contained a ham, bag of potatoes, some bell peppers, bag of apples, a pineapple, gallon of milk, other misc foods ..
Had a very long line of vehicles, ran out before the line ended .. lots of apparent need out there .. I'm going to sound crass here, but I have this inner turmoil with those driving pretty new Lexus / Cadillac's / etc .. but, I know I should not judge ..
Signed up for the 5 / 0 Toy Drive Thru Giveaway next week .. it should be physically easier ..
My back will be paying me .. TENS unit ready and waiting ..
FYI:
Sometimes it is easier to get an expensive vehicles, especially with the availability of preditory leaning . . . Matter of fact, many delership will provide a loan even if your income is so low that you get food assistance/stamps . . . I even had a Mercedes Benze offered to me that I couldn't afford . . . The other thing is maybe these people could afford the car because at 5he tine 5hey were working, hut with unemployment and loss of income they get in the food lines now . . . Ya never know . . . Just Sayin' . . .

I remember when I was growing up, this was back in the day when the government gave out Commodities. The distribution was just a couple of blocks from our house. We lived in an old mining town in NE Oklahoma and there was a lot of elderly in town and unemployment at that time. There was one gentleman (old guy) who bought a new Cadillac every couple of years and he was the first person in line each month to get his commodities. My dad told me that the man told him that the government owed him from when he fought in the wars. My dad worked in the grocery business and pretty much knew everyone in town. I try not to judge but after all, I am human.
Good morning all...
