if you ship via federal express be ware of hidden policies they use to deny your insurance claim. i recently sent a rifle via fedex the gunsmith recieved the gun but did not open it sence he was not going to work on it for a couple of weeks.
this is pretty typical behavior for gunsmiths. when he did open it he found the stock broken in two. when i talkend to him he told me about the hidden damage. within an hour i filed a claim with fedex. that was 5 weeks ago, today i recieved a notice that my claim was denied. the grounds for the denial was that i had not filed within 15 days of the gun being received. i was directed to their service manual. i imediatly went to the fedex office where i had shipped the gun. there was no service manuels anywhere on display or even a sign warning of the 15 day limit. when i ask an employee for the manuel she said she didn't think they had one. after several minutes searching somewhere in the back she came out with a service manueml # 2, not a word about a 15 day limit or even claims. after another extensive search she found a service manuel # 1. so somewhere back behind locked doors in a service manuel i had no acess to was the information. i turned the matter over to the stste insurance commissioner for resolution. ps i paid extra for the insurance on the gun.

Your GS should have checked the package, if the stock is broke the box should have shown sign, no matter what you always check a package out, if it looks bad and you are there whne delivered I make them wait and watch me open it But as for useing Fed-ex, in MD or in my town it is hard as sh%^ for me to mail guns, UPS was the first to screw the gun world and Fed Ex has not yet so your choices are anti-gun UPS that you must have a FFL for a rifle and must be next day air or Gun friendly some what Fed-Ex Your smith should have checked the box but stay on Fed Ex they will cober it JD |

jd there was no outward signs of any damage to the box.if i had known i only had 15 days i would have insisted he open it on the spot. if you are familiar with emerson v usa you know they threw out his conviction on the grounds he did not recieve due process ie... the judge did not tell him he could not posess a gun. which was the law at the time but it was an obscure law. having a rule about a 15 day time limit which is not poasted nor was i informed by the attendant, the manuel is kept in a back office away from customers, doesn't that strike you as a little obscure?

Like I said, you will get paid for it you just have to stay on them, they will mess with you for awhile then they will pay, but they will not pay right away, call then everyday and keep asking for a higher person. And I mean EVERYDAY, they will pay just not to hear from you JD |

jd you were correct fed ex caved in today and cut me a check. all it took was 18 phone calls filing a complaint with the attorney general consumer protection agency,(not posting or informing the consumer of a 15 day claims limit) a complaint to the state insurance commissioner (the ask
ed if i wanted extra insurance , they are not licensed to sell insurance in my state) they call it a declaired value. the insurance commision is going to talk to them about that. thanks again

UPS problem. I had a similar problem about 10 years ago when my Dad passed and I took his 'puter to a Mailbox ETC [which I bvelieve is owned by UPS] to pack and ship fan AZ to VA. They did a poor packing job and the computer was trashed. I went through a long process, just like u. They sent out and inspector who told me a similar box ''requirement'' story, which could not be substantiucated anywhere. I finally send a nasty letter by snail mail to their hqs in Atlanta. They finally paid me. This is a very smart outfit, whose service over the years has been horrible to wonderful. Years ago they went through their large D.C. facility looking for a transmission that was not there because the rebuilder lied regarding when he shipped it. This was before before tracking #.s Put the pressure on them. Happy trails,

Hey to all! got some questons on various .17 and .22 cal Wildcats, | ![]() | ![]() | |

Well, I guess you could say I am never settled with any rifle or cartridge, and I have gotten bitten with the .17 bug AND the wildcat bug REAL BAD!
I have been hearing some things about a tactical 17, does anyone have any info to share? Also heard some things about the Small Caliber news working with a 22br improved cartridge, this sounds alot like a 22 dasher to me, and have read lots of succes story's over at the GGVG board about it. Anyone have info to share on the new cartridge? My last question is if any of you guys have pictures of the various .17 or .22 Wildcats, I read alot about them but it is really nice to see a comparison picture next to another cartrige. I have the wildcats of the world book, but I am looking for any info you all might have through personal experience. I guess what Im saying is, Its raining cats and dogs here in central Ohio, I got off work early, am bored out of my mind, and should be doing more productive things. But of course,....Im not, because Im on this darned Internet thinking about how to turn my M700 .223 into a hot custom Wildcat rifle! All help/comments/opinions are appreciated.

I have a picture of a bunch of .17 cases. It is in the articles section under the title of Cases Wanted. I should probably work on the title so that it is less missleading. The cartridge names are directly below the picture listed from left to right. As far as the tactical .17 goes, it is very similar to what DanC on this board is building - his is called a .17 Predator I believe. The tactical .17 and the .17 Predator are both simply trying to improve on the .17 Remington's shortcomings - primarily case growth. The improvements are less body taper and sharper shoulder angle. But it sounds like you would be better served by a Tactical .20 since you are looking at the hotter .22 dasher. It would likely be a good choice for a fast stepping far reaching small caliber. |

I think Jim is right the 17 tac and VLR and the Predator are all really close to the same thing if you are looking for a super long range 22 look in to the 224 Clark I have one and it is just a killing rifle and toped with a 80grmkbt it just goes and goes hope this helps some have a great day: Coyote Slayer Eat Moose 20,000 wolves can't be wrong |

The first thing I would do is set up a visit with Todd K
and while there buy his book on the sensational seventeens,can you imagine visiting the Woodchuck Den. Todd probably has so much seventeen stuff it would just hurt to sit back and take it all in.The second thing I would do is build a 17mach1v and learn first hand how good 17's really are!!

This is my first post and first day of discovery of this group. Im from the GGVG board and recognize a few of you. I purchased a 17AH from Dan C over a year ago n I think its great...My question is about waxing bullets instead of using moly or fastex. Ive heard that Woodchuck has it, but expensive. I would like to try some type to get away from the mess of moly...feedback needed, TIA...Mike in Fresno |

if it is a 17AH then it must have a custom barrel, in that case, try cleaning it to a bare barrel and shot bare bullets, you should have no problem with them and it should shoot great, and you may be able to get way from all that stuff |

I would like to go 100 rds without swabbing and to clean out ALL of the moly takes time. Also when I think of cleaning I mean to take it down to the metal so as to be sure to get all the copper and carbon out... |

Yes Mike its called SPL,I believe it is a variation of a bullet casting lube of years gone by.I clean every 50 shots just to be on the safe side.It really is easy to apply,and no impact plating needed like with moly.
