I bought a model 60 blued with the laminated stock and was getting used to it after putting a scope on it. It started to have troubles with the bolt not closing completely, failure to extract, and firing out of battery. The last problem was a real attention getter.

I called the service center in NY and after explaining the firing out of battery I could sense their concern. They emailed me a prepaid label and they had the rifle in shop for 3 days. It just came back from New York and the only time consuming factor was the back and forth from Idaho to NY on UPS.

The rifle came back with the note that they cleaned and oiled the chamber and replace the action as the previous one was "broke". The action in those model 60s is the guts of the whole rifle. I was concerned about what they would charge if anything and the whole project came back with a NC under warranty as the rifle was about 4 months old to me.

Very impressed with the service and now off to see if I can re-sight in the rifle and get some decent groups in this cold snap.

My Model 60 eats up inexpensive ammo just fine. Shooting target grade ammo through it is a total waste of money, IMHO. Keep an eye on the recoil spring; it needs to be replaced regularly if you shoot much.
