It’s not a problem with empties hitting the scope. The 400 Whelen has a wider body before the shoulder then a 30-06 and I think there is not enough room in the magazine.

I’ll certainly sue the guy, I have two staff attourneys that I can sick on him endlessly. I’m also going to post Utube and on every forum I can think of at some point. I want this story to be what appears every time someone google http://www.weaverrifles.com .

I’ve had this happen three times and every time they basically tell me it’s my problem and they disappear. The money almost does not matter but I feel like we as a community have so little protection form dishonest and incompetent builders.

I don’t want to sell the rifle into the market but I will probably post it with disclaimers and a real explanation. That or maybe find a reputable builder to see if they can salvage the monstrosity. Obviously i’ll wait until the court case but it’s my base action.

Anyways thanks to the community for letting me vent.
