hiding behind the recoil pad.....
Brand new, right out of the box - CG Summit Sporting with a total of 5 rounds of factory Federal Top Gun target loads (TGT128s) through it for patterning. Got a coupon from CG and needed to see If the DTS stock was bored to accept the balancer without needing further milling/boring as described by CG on the website.
The good news is the appropriate counterbore exists as stated by CG Italy. The bad news is the checking I found when inspecting. How likely is this slab to separate at the grain when seating the DTS cylinder into the bore? I’m concerned I may be up the creek without a paddle on warranty if it splits and CG balks. I’m calling them tomorrow to see what my options are; I may just send the stock down to Maryland and let them worry about it. Seems like cheap insurance to me, but the disappointment remains.
I’d love to hear some feedback from those with more wood experience than I have (relatively none).
A Sunday evening bummer.
