I’ll take a look at all I have and scrounge up a quote. Obviously I’d prefer selling larger batches and it may not make sense for you but I’ll get back to you.
Getting out of the 300WM game so I'm blowing out my cartridge specific components. I searched Ammoseek for each cartridge and picked the lowest (non-shipped) price I could find, and then severely undercut that. Some obviously are unobtanium.

Glad yours worked out for you. This happened to me except the rifle still didn't shoot until I paid out of pocket for a gunsmith. I'll never buy Bergarbage again, but my 6.5CM HMR is a shooter. Heavy, but a shooter...
Well my 8lb bolt action rifles (no optics) are about the limit of what I want to lug around in the mountains. That M1A looks nice, but also looks like it weighs 20lbs.
Is there such a thing as an MOA AR10 under 8lbs?
Edit - just looked at the lite SFAR and it shows 6.8lbs so lighter than a...
That was a Savage MSR 10 Hunter in 6.5CM. Never fed right and accuracy wasn't great. Savage re-worked it a bunch, replaced the barrel and to my surprise it bump-fired on me, putting one round down range and another in the tunnel, nearly hitting the block wall 5' in front of me. Sold it off to...
The worm turns...
So after the failure to eject fiasco, I took the rifle back to the smith and he found a slight burr, likely caused by a headspace gauge. He gently ran a reamer through it by hand, and that seemed to fix the issue with feeding/ejecting.
I also went out and bought some new ammo...
Ok, in my quest to die on this hill, I went out and bought the lightest, most recoiling 300WM I could find - a Tikka T3X Superlite without a muzzle brake. Weighs in at just over 6lbs naked, 8lbs with scope.
Paired it up with my Leupold VX6HD 3-18 scope, and shooting from a light sled. I've...
Primer looks normal, no cratering or ejector marks.
I appreciate the offer and will follow up as needed. Right now the Bergara is stripped back down and I'm going to take it back to the smith to get the action cast.
Alright, borrowed my wife's purse and the bolt opened. Here's a comparison of the spent brass from the Bergara, factory and a new Tikka:
Oddly, the Bergara neck is oblong compared to the Tikka???
Bergara in the middle:
Welp...
put a Nightforce on there and got 4 rounds of Federal Powershok 180gr through to sight in/foul. This happened after the first cartridge of Winchester Deer Season XP 150gr. Obviously some pressure issues...
Three experimental outcomes:
1 - the issue is me and I use the opportunity to get better
2 - it was a scope issue
3 - it was the rifle all along
Depending on those results, I'll at least have proof to re-engage Bergara. I really hate how large corporations can take money from the working class...
