I just put $100 down on a Survivor in .308Win at a local sporting goods store(only place I know around here that still does layaway on anything, let alone on firearms)... it is one of those guns that just plain feels right in my hands... balance, grip, length of pull, everything just right(admittedly, I am a big enough guy that it probably looks a little silly at my shoulder... luckily, deer don't laugh, or at least not for very long)... really looking forward to getting it paid of in the next few weeks and bringing it home... overall, the gun looked tight(which, considering it is new, isn't really surprising) but there was one slight issue, while not one that I am that concerned with(IE, should have no effect on the safety or performance of the gun, and is something I should be able to easily fix), had me wondering if it is a common issue... the screw holding the top of the butt-pad is really tight, to the point of preventing the pad from swinging open when the bottom thumbscrew is unscrewed, and the screw-head is kinda torn up... just wondering if this is commonplace or just a fluke...
