I bought it from sportsmans warehouse so I'm sure they could get me in touch with someone. And no I don't know anyone with a gauge but I'll start asking around for sure.
Not really. I've tried several times to contact the local gunsmith and he never returns my calls and he's never home when I stop by even when his hours say he's open. He works out of his shop.
I sent it back to tikka. They shaved the bolt head down even though I told them it wasn't the bolt, which of course didn't help. So not impressed with tikka at all at the moment. It took them 3 months to do exactly what I said didn't need done and sent me back a product that still isn't...
