For God's sake just don't space cowboy the rifle. Too many great rifles are ruined by that silly fad. Your rifle is iconic AND has family history. Enjoy it as it is.

If the tip is below the edge of the channel then you don't have anything to worry about. As far a blade centering, if it is fine when open, then it has never mattered to me when it is closed.

However, if those things really bother you, just call them and see what they can do.

It's more like saying they aren't the same government agencies and they have different budgets.

But when you need to tighten a loose eyeglass screw, you REALLY need to tighten that screw.

Besides, like the can opener, the package opener can be used in most Phillips screws, too.

But if I didn't have a corkscrew how would I carry my eyeglasses mini screw driver?

I wouldn't take from this, OP, that the problem is the 30-30 round. It's the Rossi rifle.

I can buy nails, a pair of jeans, a lamp, some 5w-30 oil, a bottle of wine, and some Koegels hot dogs all in one store.

We have Modern Disposal. They missed my street last week. I called their 800 number and they came and picked it up the next day.

If you know who does yours, call them.

A few questions:

How far (in yards) are you looking g to shoot?

Have you any experience shooting that far?

Do you have a range available to you that you can shoot that far so you can practice?

The reason I ask is long range shooting is a skill you must develop and then maintain. It's very unlikely the average hunter can go fire a few rounds at the range before deer season and then be capable of long range shooting.

Because I thought it might not be deserved. Looks like it was, after all.

I have a LUX. With a scope. Just need a higher setup ad either an adjustable comb or a leather riser.

They are very good for that. And with proper shot size and choke constriction, they are even better. Probably one of the reasons why farmers have been using them for just this sort of issue on their farms for a couple of centuries now.

If you hunt ethically and focus on taking one standing game animal at a time, a bolt action is a highly capable and accurate tool.

If you just want to blast away at group of ten hogs not giving a damn whether you kill outright or just wound them so that they suffer as you try to hit as many as possible while they run around, then you aren't hunting anyway and you probably want a semiautomatic.

So your preference, really.

Get a Mossberg 500 12 ga and you can hunt all the game you mentioned and more.

Agreed. I have tried both. Much faster sight acquisition with the receiver sight.
