(quoted from post at 10:30:10 12/28/12) The Remington 788s were great rifles. The problem is the lugs on their bolts were the weak part of the system (good enough for factory loads) - to many aholes sought out these accurate rifles and put hot handloads through them and set them back on the their lugs giving them excessive head space. After they've ruined the rifle they dump them at gun shows.

I've been shooting my 22-250 with fairly stout loads since 1980 and have seen no issues as described or ever heard of that before. Is this something you saw yourself?
(quoted from post at 09:15:06 12/30/12) Bob, I have a Ruger 77 Ultra Light 250 Savage in a very light composite stock. Wonderful rifle. I hope one day to find an affordable 99 Savage in 250.
